so, i woke up at 3:40 AM a long time ago at night. as soon as i woke up, i heard the voices of 2 men talking loudly from what i thought was, my dads bedroom. i initialy thought he was watching the tv. but i peered in. not a peep of awakness and the tv was off. how strange.. but it sounded like it was downstairs now. i heard loud banging, and what i thought to be arguing and fighting. but then, i heard the cutlery draw open. my first thought was, OH NO, they're going to ki** me with a knife. but then, i thought it may be 2 men who have lost their minds making stew or smt in my kitchen but then i thought, no. murderers would be more stealthy quiet and eliminate everyone in the house immediately, before they could even think about talking. at this moment, i was shaking all over, and felt a bit ill. after all, it is a bit of a traumatic experience for a 10 yr old. i thought they might kill me . i whipered my secret goodbyes to all my plushies, family, toys and freind, how i would miss them all. i also thought about what a great life i had gotten, and did a prayer to god to wake up the next morning. the banging and shouting went on for hours. i lay awake for hours. until i thought of the only safe option. warn my sister. after all, my pearents might scream and give the game away, so the 'murderers' would come upstairs and end our lives. so i creeped nearer and nearer to her door. i went in, and she immediately woke up. she hiss whispered, 'what are you doing??' i could barely speak back, as the fear and tears were pulling me away from speech. finnaly, i could talk. 'theres shouting downstairs' but then, as she tip-toed into the hall, someone came up the stairs. but it was soon clear. it was no murder. rather.. ..mum with coffee at 3AM?!?!?!?! i was bewildered. who would drink coffee at 3AM?? no wonder shes always complaining to be tired. coffee keeps people awake, not fall asleep better. soon everything was crystal clear. the loud talking men were on the radio. apparently, as i'm right above the kitchen, the sound waves alter and it sounds different. especialy with a huge imagination. the loud banging, you may ask?? well, that was the hot water tank giving in, apparently. and lastly, what was the cutlery draw being opened for at 4AM? well, that question is already partly answered. mum needed a spoon to mix her coffee, ofc! so here i am, sitting on the sofa outside class. i'm well tired , and after all that happened, i got 6 hours sleep!! thanks for reading this all, and if you scrolled down this far. its been a pretty traumatic experience for me. (PS dad slept through all the drama) (COOL DREAM BEFOREHAND) i saw a fox with blue crocks on and stole my tablet and played animal jam the whole night and i could also play animal jam on my new watch
