The Horror of Being Home Alone

After an hour and a half of being home alone, my mom called to tell me that they wouldn't be home when they had originally said. My brother and his girlfriend also wanted to see a movie with them that night. During one of the show's commercial breaks I rushed into the kitchen to get a bowl of ice cream. There was a man standing there right outside the window wearing a white rubber Halloween mask who stared back at me in pure terror. Before I knew it I was screaming at ghosts to follow me and running upstairs to my parents bedroom. At this point I was bawling. I totally regretted staying alone and all I wanted was my mom and dad.
