Under The Rug
by Maggie

"What is that movement under the rug ?" I wondered. I was reading in my den, and I was home alone while everyone was out. Then I heard laughter underneath. I thought to myself, "Should I step on it?" Once I said that, I felt a tickle on my foot. I looked down but saw nothing. Then a thud came from the floor. I looked down and the rug flattened. Suddenly. A big bump was under me ! I was terrified! I looked down but nothing was there. I didn't see any thing not even a bug move. I heard a clatter, and once I heard that, I knew it was time to catch it! I tiptoed to the and got a garbage bag. then suddenly in a blink of an eye, the unknown creature flew across the room laughing! It was white and see  through and had no arms or legs. Its eyes were black like coal and had the tiniest mouth. I felt the breeze  as it zoomed past me. I knew it was time!! I started charging toward it but I missed and instead I fell on the floor. I thought to myself, "How should I outsmart a flying creature?" I put some candy in a bag on the couch so it can lure the ghost ! I waited for less than ten minutes. Then my plan worked-it went in the bag! I shouted, "Victory !" and tied the bag and threw it in the trash can so the garbage men can crush him. But it wasn't over yet. Two weeks past and it happened again.
