PERSPECTIVE

BY EVA LOLI ‘25

I felt a sense of dread rush through me as I stepped up to my front door. I never liked
going home since it didn’t even seem like mine anymore. Every time I walked through
the door I felt the need to make it clear that I was home, whether that was making a lot
of noise or slamming the door shut. I threw my keys on the counter. Lately, I felt like
somebody’s watching me.

Draculaura from
My ears perked as the lock unlatched. He must be home, I thought. The door opened
Monster High and he threw his key onto the counter. It made a loud noise. I wish he wouldn’t be as
was voted #1 from the main cast! loud as he was. Even if I was all the way at the other end of the house ,I’d still be able
to hear all of his commotion. I guess he isn’t aware of himself since he thinks he lives
alone.

I couldn’t even muster up the courage to look at my living room because I felt like
something was there. I quickly ran up my stairs to hide in my room. What’s wrong with
me? I melted at the foot of my bed and curled up like a child. Dio, you’re a full grown
man, what are you doing? I lifted my head into the palms of my hands and that’s when
I saw it happen. Every single thing on my dresser fell over like dominos. A chill so cold
that it felt like ice water slid down my spine

His face looked uneasy as he walked through the door. He quickly ran up the stairs and
slammed his door shut. Does he think he’s safe behind a door? I went through his door
to see what he was up to, only to find him sitting at the foot of his bed with his head
in his hands. That look of distraught on his face was infuriating, so much so that I felt
the need to knock over every single thing on his dresser just to see another reaction.
Haunting people is truly entertaining.
