1. The Child

    It was late at night when I heard the music. It was soft, scary, and startled me out of bed. I looked out the window of my bedroom, and saw something walking outside my country house. It was taller than dad and skinny like a pole. It was wearing a bathrobe like Mom’s, except it was black and had lines glowing a creepy light.

    The music that woke me up coming off of it, but it did not have a something to play music with: the music was coming off of its body. It must’ve known I was looking at it, because it stopped, turned and looked at me. Its face was covered by a mask and the mask looked like a smiley face that also glowed in the same light as the lines on the bathrobe.

    I tried to hide from it, but I couldn’t move. It lifted a long, sharp-looking finger to the mask’s mouth and hissed “Shhhhhh”. I nodded and the person continued its walk. As soon as it went away, I jumped back into bed, pulled the covers over my head and tried to forget about the thing I just saw. But I could still hear its creepy music playing as if it was right next to me.

Interesting to read about the same scene from perspective of the 2 characters. You may like to shorten "watching-plaything-child" to something simpler and shorter.

Will there be chapter II soon?
