False alarm
It was a hot, lazy afternoon and, from where I sat on the shady verandah, I could see the purple mountains in the distance. The fragrant flowers around me blazed with colour as, sipping my sharply sweet lemonade, I listened to the gentle hum of crickets and twittering of birds. A soft, cool breeze brushed my skin while I enjoyed the smell of the rich earth. Suddenly, a familiar, annoying buzz sounded in my ear. I realized it was a poor bee that tried to woke me up from my endless dream. After a while I got up and went to the kitchen to drink some orange juice when I heard a murmur that came from upstairs. In that moment, I remembered that I was alone in the house so I took a cosh to protect me from the unknown enemy. In my mind I was thinking that in every moment somebody is going to kill me and take all my jewels and credit cards. As I was climbing to the first floor my legs started to tremble with fear and my heart was beating faster and faster. The sound was coming from my sister`s bedroom. I treaded lightly trying not to get myself noticed and slowly opened the door. When I got into the room I saw that the murmur was coming from the TV because it was programmed by my sister to turn on at two p.m. I was so relieved that there was nobody in the house and I felt completely safe. When my sister arrived home I told her all that I`ve been through because of her. She was very amused about my story and promised me that she will never do this again. Exhausted, I slammed my bedroom`s door behind me. I threw myself onto my bed and fell asleep instantly. It was a creepy day.
