Late Night Mystery

As the clock struck midnight, a mysterious figure appeared at the door. I silently crept down the stairs, cautiously looking around for traps. A dark and tall shadow lurked over me; my heart sank to the bottom of my body as I walked closer and closer to the figure. Suddenly, the lights turned on. I shrieked! Slowly, I opened my eyes, it was my mum, I had forgotten that she stayed at work late. I was with relief actually believing that I was going to die that night. Phew that was a close one!
