In the dead of night, I heard whispers coming from the shadows. At first, I thought it was my imagination, but the voices grew louder. the streets were swollowed by the shadows only the dim streets lights to guide me. as I walked and walked my eyes played tricks on my I would she shadows cross the road and disappear in the dark parts on the street, every shadow I saw looked like woneone I new from years ago it was like I was stuck in a bad dream. the voice grew louder some sounded closer, like people whispering in my ear saying unknown words that I couldnt understand, it sounded like a weird mix on English with mandarin.
In the dead of night, I heard whispers coming from the shadows. At first, I thought it was my imagination, but the voices grew louder. so I ran to my house but I still heard the loud whispering. When I went inside the car and drove off the whispering stop I felt alone but happy. When I reached the door incited of hearing whispering I heard loud voices telling me not to go inside. so I looked in the window and see nothing. I went to my mom’s house and the voices told me to go inside and stay for the night.
