Uninvited Guests

By Isaac Tooman

I am learning to entertain my audience.

One stormy afternoon a strange thing happened. There was a man named Jeff. He had a naughty dog called Timmy. It was a Bull Terrier. He was naughty because he bit people. He was sitting in his small, tidy house reading, when he thought he saw the back door knob turn, in the corner of his eye. He thought it must have been his imagination but then it happened again. He was not sure what to do, he picked up his chair as a weapon and opened the door but there was no one there. He was puzzled.

Creak! “Who is there?” he quietly called out.

Jeff was sitting at the table the next morning eating breakfast when he thought he heard the doorknob turn.This time he was brave enough to open the door and found nothing.

That night when Jeff was sound asleep he was woken by the sound of the back doorknob creaking again, creak, creak, creak. He tiptoed down the stairs and went straight to the back door and with trembling hands he opened the door. ‘’Who's there he called out.’’ He heard the sound of running in the bushes. ‘’I’ll call the police he screamed out.’’ Suddenly he heard the kitchen window being pushed open and he hurried to the kitchen and saw two men jump in each holding a gun they each had a ski mask covering their face.  Jeff walked as quietly as he dared to the phone and called the police. They came over as soon as they could.

When the police came Jeff said there were burglars in the house and he was not sure where they were. The police started looking for them and finally caught the burglars under Jeff's bed. The burglars saw the police too and got there shotguns out. The police got their pistols out too and hid on the other side of the bed and fired at the burglars. The  robbers fired back just as Jeff was walking out of the room and he got hit by the bullet and fell to the ground. The police and the robbers were still shooting at each other. Finally when the police were down to there last bullet they shot at the robbers and they died as well as Jeffry.
