A middle-aged stranger
visited us late on a dark rainy night when my father was working the night
shift (a job for a period during the night). The stranger asked if he could
wait under the eaves of our roof for the rain to stop. Then he disappeared, and
we started hearing footsteps and creaking boards in the attic(the space or room
at the top of a building, under the roof, often used for storing things). Was
the stranger inside our house? My whole body couldn’t help but stiffen. In my
mind’s eye, I could imagine the stranger pushing through the attic door and
approaching us.
We immediately called
Jerry, our neighbor, for help. He searched everywhere, but the visitor was
nowhere to be found. As Jerry looked in the garage, he found the stranger lying
underneath the car. Jerry exclaimed with fright, “You are not allowed to enter
the house. Get off the property right now.”
We were determined to
leave the house immediately. As we drove away, we saw the man blocking our way
on the road and staring at us. We had to swerve to miss him. After that, I
never saw the stranger again.
