Hi, here is my entry. Thanks. :)
Trina was devastated waking up with the news that her grandfather died. She haven't bid her farewell yet, why so sudden! She told herself while crying her heart out.
She have been hearing unknown noises for years but the death of her grandfather made her hear more of it. Trina currently at the age of 10, did not give much attention on those noises, not until a scary moment happened.
One night, she was sleeping alone in a bed placed behind their huge cabinet. Only her grandmother was in the house with her but have fallen asleep in their sofa. She suddenly hear the keys as she will usually hear it when somebody is opening the cabinet. So, she get out of the bed and thought that her grandmother opened the cabinet.
But she was shocked to see that her grandmother was still sleeping in the sofa. Trina was so scared and cannot even scream. What she did was cover herself with a big blanket while lying in their bed hoping that it will be morning already. The lights started to blink, makes her numb. She prayed hard that her grandmother will wake up and end her fear.
