She lays in her bed trying to go to sleep at four thirty am in the morning when suddenly her front porch light comes on.Frieghtened with fear she rolls over on her bed facing the other side of her bedroom not facing the window in her room.She tries to drift off to sleep and inore her inside fears but not even five minutes later her front porch light turns back on again. Now scared to move she wonders who is outside? A theif ,someone she knows,someone playing a joke?Then a few seconds while she was wondering what was going on outside her telephone rings.Only once not wanting to move she lays still untill the sun rises.Then she finally drifts off to sleep still shocked,frieghted,and scared.After she awakes back up she thinks about the phone call she recived earlier at five am that morning.She calls it back that afternoon.The man or teenager that answers was very rude.She asked, who is this.?The person replies if you don't know who you are calling then don't call.She gets mad back and says well someone called here at five am and she wanted to know who it was?He doesn't say anything so she hangs up.Another man calls back later claiming that someone had called his cell from her house.But no one had called else in her home or that lives upstairs knew that cell phone number.So the whole night still remains a mystery.Who could it it have been? Thinking back it really makes you wonder? What is going on outside.
I came up with this story after I had a night when I thought I heard someone out side my window. I reposted it. i thought it was a pretty good start to a good story.That really happened to me.

This turned out really well. I would definately keep going with this and write out an entire story.
It always makes me nervous though because one night it wasn't my imagination. My husband was at work at it was 2am and I heard this repeated knocking and the door and some guy was out there laughing hysterically. Turned out he was a 17 yr old who did LSD and had thrown trash all over our yard and I called the cops. You don't even wanna hear what he told the cops when they busted him... what he planned to do if someone answered..... very bad.
Anyways since he was a minor they decided to take him home (cops in this town don't do much about the kids which is a shame) and I called my husband and he came home and talked to the cops and while he was talking to him the cop got a call on his radio from dispatch saying the mom had called and he'd taken off again. He was heading right back towards our house. Well he'd gone a block down and they nabbed him again. My husband said he wanted to press charges. They said they would take him in to the holding cell and if he wasn't coherent within four hours they have to take him home.... if he is coherent they take him to the juvenile detention center. Now I have no clue why they would let a kid high on acid go anywhere.... but their excuse was the juvenile facility isn't equipped to handle kids that are high on drugs (is that not crazy?) and that they can't hold him over four hours in the adult holding cell in our town.
Yeah so I get nervous too!
