She heard the noise again, a faint scraping sound, but couldn’t figure out where it was
coming from. As she turned the volume down on the remote, she stood and looked toward the
kitchen. There it was again, the dull scratching, barely conspicuous from somewhere beneath
the floorboards. She walked to the hallway, slowly turned the doorknob, and opened the
basement door. The noise stopped. Pausing, she listened intently for a few moments and heard
nothing. Just as she was about to dismiss the sound as an overactive imagination, she heard a
soft scraping, like something being dragged across the rough concrete. Curiosity took hold and
she cautiously descended the basement stairs. Once her foot met the cold cement floor, she
turned to the right to pull the light cord. She raised her arm to reach for the string and then saw
it. Her mouth opened and her mind screamed, but no sound came from her lips. She was frozen,
unable to register the horror in front of her as the terror seized her. It was hideous. When the
thing suddenly moved, she snapped out of her shock, spun around, and fled the basement, taking
three steps at a time.
