Uninvited Guests
by Cole D.

One cold dark night my brother Chris and I got ready for bed... My heart was pounding when I looked at the small black door that was as black as the night sky. I thought I saw the doorknob turn where I kept my favorite stuffed animal named Otto. He is a yellow dog with a blue left ear and a red right ear. At 6:00 PM, I always check to see if Otto is safe, I am always afraid that someone will steal him. All of a sudden, I opened the door and he was gone!!! I looked everywhere for him. Under the sofa, under the living room chair and in the closet. There was no sign of Otto.

"I know," I said to myself, "I will set a trap so if he comes in my house again I will catch him. I will put switch on the floor that will trigger the chandelier to fall on him. Later on, at bedtime, I heard a bam! The trap worked. The robber was wearing orange and was the same height as me. I looked in the large living room mirror and saw the robber's reflection that looked exactly like me. Was I dreaming? Did I steal Otto? Can you guess who it was?

I took off the robber's mask. On my gosh, it was Chris! "Chris, why did you steal Otto?"

"Because I want a dog like Otto too," said Chris.
