Stanger in the night
One day I was sleeping when the lights turned off and I Looked at the Windows. I saw a
strange shadow behind the window. I was very scared and I hid in the closest, from
inside I heard a noise. At that moment, I remembered my parents were not at home!!!
What can I do? I thought, I searched my phone and it was not there. Another noise was
heard behind the door. My fear turned into courage and I decided to come out. I walked
very slowly and I turned on the lights, when I saw, my cat did all those tricks.

In some place...
My name is Henry. I’m 34 years old. I work as a writer but at the moment I’m
unemployed. I'm single, without children, and because of that I'm depressed, so I
started doing drugs.
Last week, I started a new book. It was about a man who had been looking for a new job
until he got one. His name was Tony. His bosses were dangerous people, they were from
the mob. They made him do some weird stuff, like chasing people or deliver wrapped
boxes to many different places.
After six months, the head of the mob, Godard, disappeared. Tony fought with all his co-
workers and won the place of Godard.
Tony became the leader, but one day, after some months, Godard came back and he
was furious because he had taken his place without any permission
So Tony went to his house quickly. When he arrived he saw Godard, with his gun… And
said:
—How could you take my place!? —shouted Godard.
—I thought you were dead, I didn't know you were still alive —said Tony.
—I don't care if you didn't know, you have taken my place, and that's punished in the
mob, I'm sorry —said Godard, without even apologizing. And shot him. He dropped
dead.
…In real life…
—Oh no, Henry, what did you do?!
—Sir, who are you? —asked a doctor.
—I'm Tony, a friend of Henry´s, what did he do to himself? —He was terrified.
—He has an overdose, he’s just died, I’m sorry —said the doctor, and took Henry's
body away.

I was only eleven years old when it started, the scariest thing about changing schools is
not knowing anyone, I was really scared on my first day. I did not know anyone at all, I
wasvery lonely and for some reason they didn’t t like me, everyday was the same thing,
they would beat me up with no reason, just for fun. At the beginning there were just a
few punches, but then it got worst, they decided to bring a stick. They broke my arm
one day and they told me that if I said something, they would kill me. When I thought
that it couldn't get worst, they showed up with a big chain, it was a nightmare.
After six years of suffering, I decided to put an end to it and plan my revenge.The prom
party was coming and I knew it was the perfect opportunity to accomplish my revenge. I
couldn't get a prom partner so I had enough time to perform the perfect plan.I went to
the shop very early in the morning and I bought some wine to mix it with some rat
poison I had in the garage, it was easy but it took me a long time to complete the drinks.
It was 9 PM, everything was ready, the prom was about to start, so I took my bike and I
went to the party with the poison in my backpack. I got there very early and I switched
the drinks, and I waited. When I saw them drinking the poison I felt excited, and afraid
of the situation, but it was too late, it was already done.
I left the prom party at 3 am, when I left there were a few guys feeling bad, it was just a
matter of time. When I got home, I turned the TV and watched the news, they were
talking about the prom, everybody was dead, and lots of people were in the hospital. At
that moment I felt terrible and I realized what I had done, I had killed innocent people, I
was guilty of that crime, so I decided to kill myself with my father’s gun.

THE OLD BEWITCHED CLOCK
In a lonely far town called Mockingjay, a young couple, Madge and Louis, liver with their
beautiful daughter, Rachel. They had been really happy for four years until she suffered
from autism and that they had to look after her. After that their lives changed
dramatically. Madge started to hate her daughter because she was not normal and she
was always locked in her room and Louis discovered he was undergoing a mortal
sickness. Because of that he began getting closer to Rachel. They went out frequently,
Louis gave her presents and he pampered her. One afternoon when they went for a
walk, they came across with an awful, terrifying antique house. Louis was sure he hadn’t
seen it before, but he decided to go into since an old wooden clock caught Rachel’s
attention. It was a black, large pendulum clock with a loud sound that seemed to
hypenoze Rachel. Then Louis started to look at all the old things. Suddenly, and old and
noisy door opened and the shape of a short ft man appeared. He was an elderly man
who asked them with a rough voice: -Could I help you?. At the seeing of the man Louis
Shocked. The man’s face was pale and his smile looked evil. When Louis recovered from
the shock he answered: -Er… I would like to buy the shop window clock. The old man
said: .Are you sure? I warm you with that clock witchcraft had been done. According to
the legend the clock had been bewitched to bring misery to people who own it.
Louis incredulously told him:-That’s ridiculous! I don’t believe in such things. If I don’t
believe, nothing will happen to us. He bought the clock and before they left the antique
house the old man told them with a tragical and evil voice: -I warmed you. I hoe you
don’t regret.
They arrived at their house and placed the clock at the stare base and near the door.
From that moment the little girl spent the whole day staring at it.
One night Louis woke up desperately because of Rachel’s scream, he ran towards her.
She was rocking herself in from of the clock saying “tik-tok, tik-tok” as the sound of the
clock. Louis round to the machine and he saw something strange inside it. He wa
frightened because of what he had seen. Just then he took Rachel to her room and he
made her promise that she would never come near the clock because supposedly there
was a mouse inside it.
One week later, after a lot of fail attempts to get rid of the clock, Louis gave up and he
preferred to give it to his neighbor, Elias, not to have it in his house anymore. Rachel,
disturbed, with her hands in her head was saying “Tik-tok, tik-tok”. Next morning,
Rachel woke her mother up with an alarming shout. Madge didn’t pay attention to her
shouts until he realized that her husband was not in bed. She went downstairs an went
around the whole house looking for Louis. When she was about to go out she stopped
and was shock because of what she as seeing, the clock which had been given to Elias
the previous night, was back in the house.
6. Shocked by what she had seen, Madge decided to go to her neighbor’s house to see if
her husband was there and to ask Elias why he had given black the clock. Madge ran
across the garden quickly, arrived at the door and rang the bell. Elias who was really
nervous, got out and did not let her in. She asked him: -Did you see my husband. She
noticed Elias had a lost share so she asked nervously: -Could I come in? What’s
happening?
She realized that something rare was happening when she was pushing Elias to come
into the house. Madge came into the room and saw her husband’s dead body laying in
bloodshed on the floor. His body was hurt, with broken arms and legs and a terrified,
suffering expression on his face. Elias started to swear that he hadn’t done anything, he
just woken up and found Louis’s body.
Suddenly, Rachel appeared and started to laugh with an evil and macabre form, so
Madge hit her and the girl fell down but she did not cry she faced up to her mother get
up and went to her house.
Often that day, Elias went to prison and Madge fell into depression.
Years later, Madge continued depressed and Rachel locked in her bedroom spent hours
in front of the clock. For that situation, Leila, her sister, came to visit from time to time.
In her visits, she tried to get Madge out of her state of mind, introducing new people
but those disappeared mysteriously. Also, she renewed the house with mirrors and
flowers.
This caught Leila’s attention because she could not find a justification for a lot of the
things there were in Rachel’s bedroom. In order to clear her doubts and while the girl
was in shock, Leila wet into her niece’s room, dark, cool, creepy. The windows were
covered with newspaper; the clothes were all over the floor. She saw the pictures of the
people who had disappeared one by one. When she tried to run away, she turned to see
the girl standing right behind her. Suddenly Rachel threw herself at Leila, who tried to
run away but unfortunately Rachel had closed the door behind her.
The little girl pushed Leila down the stairs and she crashed against the clock. Luckily,
with her last breath of energy, Leila got up and escaped.
The pendulum started to move slowly and the little girl fell to the floor saying tick-tock-
tick-tock taking her time. Finally the pendulum of the clock and the little girl’s heart
came to a stop.
Some time later, it was a cold and a rainy day, Leila was driving to the mental hospital.
her sister has been in since the day of the accident after suffering from a schizophrenia
episode. Leila went into the room where Madge was. Madge was rocking in her chair
saying tick tock tick tock
