I took off my Halloween costume, washed the paint off my face, put on my pajamas, brushed my teeth, and went to bed. I was almost asleep when I first heard the sound, someone was knocking on my front door. Knock, Knock, Knock. I was about to open the door, but just then the power went out. The knocking stopped but I knew that if I fell asleep that I might never wake up again from the man knocking on the door. So instead of sleeping I stayed in my living room with a flashlight and my phone. I was wondering why my parents were taking so long to get home. But then, again I heard the knocking on the door. Knock, Knock, Knock. I curled myself into a ball and covered myself with a blanket, the knocking kept getting even louder. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Then, I heard the doorknob trying to be turned. Whoever that was, they seemed really strong, because it sounded like the nails in the knob were breaking! Just then, I had an idea: What if I called the police to tell them there was someone trying to enter my home? I reached over to grab my phone and I dialed 911. "Hello. This is the Police Department what is your emergency?" They said when they picked up the phone. "There is someone trying to break into my house!" I said quickly. "They tried to break the doorknob and they have been knocking for the past half hour!" "We are coming right away! What is your address?" Later there was a knock on the door and they said "Utah Police Department!" I quickly opened the door to see the police and my Mom standing at the door. "The mysterious man knocking at your door was your poor mother." They said. "I've been knocking for the past hour!" My mother said. "It's freezing out there!" "I'm sorry mom, I didn't know it was you." I said. That night I thought of how stupid I was, I sure am glad that wasn't me out there.
