Home Alone

One night my parents went to visit my grandmother, not far away from our home. I was left alone as I had to complete my homework for the following day. After finishing my homework, I sat down to view my favourite television show, Family Matters. Suddenly, I heard a loud bang at my front gate. Then I heard a tapping sound on my front door. I became afraid. The tapping grew louder and louder. Then I heard a scraping sound and wondered what was making those frightening sounds. As the sound continued, my heart kept beating faster and faster. With trembling footsteps I quietly went into my room and locked the door. As I lay on my bed, I heard my fathers car enter the driveway. When my parents walked up the steps I heard them scolding our dog Rover. He was scraping at the front door trying desperately to get in. I was relieved.
