Cristina's Man in the Kitchen
My parents usually had problems, because my dad is a little cold and mean. One afternoon, after my dad got home from work, he asked for his dinner. My mom gave him his food, but, as usual, he didn't want what my mom fixed him, so he threw the plate full of food at my mom. My mom sadly cleaned up the food. She didn't talk to, wash, or feed my dad for about a week.
My mom didn't sleep in the room with my dad. She slept with me in the living room. One night, my mom and I were watching T.V. Soon, we both fell asleep. Around midnight, I heard noises in the hallway. I thought it was my dad, so I ignored it.
In the morning, my mom woke up freaked out. I asked her what was wrong. She started explaining to me that about 12:30 that night, she heard the bedroom door open, so she opened her eyes and saw a shadow of a man come out of the room. He walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door. The light from the refrigerator reflected on the wall. Then, the "man" started slamming plates and even turned on the blender! My mom waited for my dad to come out of the kitchen, but he never came out. She watched the clock as an hour went by. When no one came out of the kitchen, she just went back to sleep, still assuming it was my dad. I later asked my dad if it had been him, but he said he never woke up!
