Things Lurking in the Dark
âDid you hear footsteps?â
âI know itâs stupid to think that someone is watching us but I really think someone is watching us.â
âThere are no such things as monsters.â
âI wish we had a flashlight.â
âAre you sure no one else is here?â
âAbandoned farmhouse at the end of a country road, isnât this how every episode of Scooby Doo started?â
âIâm getting out of here.â
âThatâs not funny.â
âIâm telling you no one is here and Iâll prove it to youâŚâ
âLook! Itâs just a tattered bed sheet.â
âIâll leave the light on if that will make you feel better.â
âPlease tell me you heard that.â
âIt was huge, black and had rows of bright white teeth!â
âSorry, my grandmother is staying with us for a few days.â
âOf course thereâs no signal out hereâŚâ
âLet me guess, thereâs an old summer camp nearby where something terrible happened years ago and no one will talk about it. Am I close?â
âA baseball? Where did that come from?â
âItâs raining frogs. Why is it raining frogs?â
âEverything will be better once I get a fire started.â
âWhy did I let you talk me into this?â
âThat howling is just a dog or coyote, right?â
âStop breathing down my neck. It isnât funny.â
âThe sun is setting, maybe we should go home.â
âNo we are not picking up hitchhikers!â
âThere is nothing to be afraid of in a cemetery.â
âIâm not going out there this close to dark.â
