As I was tossing and turning in my bed one stormy night something very unusual happened. A strange blare woke me up. It sounded as if someone was crying loudly. I tried to ignore the sounds but they kept getting louder. When the crying started to get on my nerves I went to see what was wrong. I took my flashlight from my closet and slowly and stealthily sneaked outside. As I entered the living room, my bedroom door closed with a loud bang making me jump. When I switched on the lights there was a spark and the lights went out.

The next morning when I woke up I realized that I was not in my room. I sat up straight in the bed. My mom was sitting next to me wearing a very worried look on her face. I was in hospital. When my mom saw me getting up, she asked why I had behaved so eccentrically the pervious night? I knew that I was not in a condition to tell them everything in detail so I just told them briefly. Well,” my mother said after hearing my story, “I can explain the strange noises that you heard but I’m not sure about the phone call. Are you sure it was not your imagination? ” “No mom, I am sure it was not my
