Dark, stormy. The sky went on forever. We could hear the rain drumming. We were just sitting down for dinner when we heard a creak, suddenly we were plunged into darkness.As I plodded across the tile floor I suddenly felt something. I looked behind me and saw nothing. I looked down and saw wooden floor-boards.The paint was flaking . II felt a tap on my shoulder. I swung around and saw a bat fly past me, I gathered up courage and took another step.. As I carefully crept up the staircase I heard one threatening creak after another. my hands holding tight onto the rail on either side.
