Chapter One:
It was early in the morning of September 2, 2016. Possibly 1:25 in the morning. I woke up, extremely thirsty for water, and walked down to the kitchen. Since the heater wasn't on, it was only about 55 degrees inside. As I tiptoed to the fridge, I heard a slight knock coming from the front door. I went to see who was knocking at this time, but nobody was there. The porch light suddenly turned on, and for the second it was on, I swear I saw a figure.
The light was off, leaving me in disbelief as fear took over my body. I stood there, frightened about what I just saw. Slowly, I walked over to the light switch and my shaky hand reached out to light up the porch. Sure enough, it was there. This time though, it stayed, just standing there as if it was frozen. I saw a bony hand reach out to tap the front door, as if trying to taunt me. My dogs started to bark, but as if the world just went on mute they became silent. The doorknob began to rattle until it clicked open, letting in the imposter. At that moment, I took off like a rabbit being hunted by a wolf. I flew to a hiding place, hoping it wouldn't know.
All of a sudden, I heard laughing, and the light came on. The creature unmasked itself, revealing it was my best, perky friend, Sheila. I was upset and embarrassed at first, but then I began laughing till I cried. My other friend, Tara, came out of the bathroom with a radio that made the sound of dogs barking. Tara, in between her laughs, said, "I can't believe you fell for it! You actually thought a creature was coming in! I'm so happy right now, you don't even know! Don't worry, your parents knew we were doing this. They won't get mad at us."
I was exhausted, so I told my friends they could spend the night (even though it was a Thursday) and we fell straight into a deep sleep.

Did that really happened?? that sounded so scary! Next time you should throw a bucket with ice water and see if they laugh after that ;)
I was so scarred until I realized that it was just his friends. You should make the next chapter where the same things happen again, but it's not his friends.
I love the suspense and how it grows at the end until finally it makes you laugh. Really great. I would love to see another chapter?
Jonathan and Timothy Carter, I am planning on making another chapter, but I'm still trying to get inspiration. Your idea, Jonathan, is a good idea. The only thing is that I don't usually like to write stories where something bad happens right away. My style of writing includes foreshadowing.
