Short Stories

I heard a noise and went downstairs to investigate. I had to be very careful, I didn't know if someone was downstairs or if something had fallen down. First, I went to the kitchen and picked up a knife then, I investigated the kitchen but there was nothing wrong. After that, I opened the living room door, but again there was nothing. A couple of minutes passed, and then a weird noise came from the basement. I was really scared. I didn't know if I should go and check out or call directly the police.
Suddenly, I felt brave and went to the basement. I tried to turn on the light but it didn't work, so I went to look for a torch and investigated the basement. It was full of spider webs and strange things.
I went to the other corner. There was my dog Tommy! It seemed that he had fallen asleep there and when he moved, a glass jar had fallen down and the weird noise was his snoring! Oh my god! I almost had a heart attack.

I heard a noise and went downstairs to investigate. I thought that it was my dog, but he was sleeping. I turned on the living room’s light, but everything was OK. I did the same in the whole house, but I couldn't notice anything strange, so I returned to my room. Although I tried to sleep, I couldn't do it.
After some minutes, a strange man appeared at the door, with a knife in his hand. I felt very frightened. He started to get closer to me. I knew he would kill me, so I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I realised that I had been dreaming. Moreover, the night had passed and the sun was shining. It was a great relief to discover it had been only a dream.
