AROUND
THE CORNER By Kindred, Grade 4, Washington, USA
Chapter 1 The Beginning
Hi my name is Amanda and this is my story about what’s around the corner. It all started Tuesday,October 30th. It was the day before Halloween,the kreepiest night in Spooksberg. Everyone was gonna dress up as something. Well
back to the story. I had just woke up and finished getting dressed. Then I
heard something growl at me from around the corner. I wasn’t scared. I thought
it was my brother’s cat Fillie Bob Joe, but he was not there. So I started to
wonder, hmmmm what could have growled at me? I began to get nervous. Was something
in here in my house? Just then I heard a crash and my mother scream from the
kitchen. I rushed in there and asked what happened. She was standing on a chair,
a broken plate and cup at her feet. She told me that the cup and plate flew at
her from the counter. I thought about the growling I heard earlier and then I
knew there was something around the corner- a thing that does not want us
here at all.

Chapter 2
I peeked into my bedroom before I went inside. I was watching t.v. on bed when
all of the sudden a big crash in the laundry room. I carefully tiptoed down the
hall to the laundry room door. I tried to open it, but it was locked so I went
to get a key. When I unlocked it I could barely get it open, just enough for me
to slip in. When I was in there all the clothes were on the floor and soaked. I
felt water on my feet. I looked up and saw the washer tipped on its side. I was
so scared I ran right across the street to the park and up to the tree house I built
there. I just sat there in the corner in a ball and watched.

Chapter 3 Finding Out
I stood up and peeked through the window of the tree house. Then I felt something
on my shoulder. Then it happened. I saw it. I couldn`t believe it! What I saw
was my little, fluffy kitten, Oliver, sitting on my shoulder. He made the
growling noise. It was him purring. Well I walked back home and slipped into
bed with Oliver at my side and slept through the night. And now whenever I hear
a growl,I’ll know my kitty’s happy. And that’s my story about what’s around the
corner
Now whenever you hear a growl,if you have a cat stay calm (if you don’t, I’d
watch out.).
