John is Scared by Catherine Guerra (7th Grader)

John was in his bedroom, lying on his bed, when suddenly he heard a bang on the door. He got frightened and jumped out of bed. Then he turned around to see the most unbelievable thing, a monster standing in his room. His parents weren’t at home because they had gone out to buy some food from a restaurant. Earlier he had watched a scary movie about a monster that was big and hairy and had three eyes. After the movie was done, he went into his bedroom because he was getting sleepy. That was when he saw the monster standing in his room.

John trembled as he looked at the monster. He wanted to shout, but he was too scared. He thought that the monster would eat him if he didn’t try to escape. So John ran for the door way. As he looked back he saw the monster coming toward him, and he almost fell. Then John heard the monster growl, “I won’t harm you.’’ Poof, the monster was gone. John wasn’t afraid anymore.

When John’s parents arrived at home, a little while after, he was already sleeping. They looked at John, unaware of what had just happened to their son. The only reason John went to sleep was because he was no longer scared of monsters.
