Jessica's Special Secret

Night was an extremely restless time for Jessica. It happens when she's ready to turn off the light and finally dream again--She's suddenly anxious to go out and find an adventure.One night, as she lay there in the dark, she heard a sound, right as she was about to drift off. She ripped off her sleeping mask and looked around angrily, trying to locate the sound. But there was nothing that could have made the sound.

Then, her wardrobe glimmered to life. It was a huge wooden affair, almost too big for the large wall that it sat against. At first, she thought it was just light shining on one of the wardrobe doors, reflecting back in a way that refused to let her sleep. But it was late, and neither the sun nor the neighbors were up.

She scrabbled for her glasses on the nightstand, but they fell to the floor. The strip of light was clear, and everything was there with as much clarity as if she had her glasses on. When her eyes adjusted to the dark, the light suddenly looked like the shape of a man. Her eyes widened. Was it a ghost? She looked away, closed her eyes, and fell suddenly asleep.



Every night after that, she would sometimes see the light, and sometimes it would stay dark in her room. But every night, light or no light, she always saw something new. On one of those night, what looked like a man shrouded from head to toe in dark sheets stood next to her bedroom's windows.His arms were stretched out like a zombie, and only his eyes and hands were visible. The hands were balls of glowing light, and the eyes were a small glowing strip in his black dark face.



These spirits came back to watch Jessica. Like animals know an animal-lover, they must have known that Jessica likes ghosts and spooky things. It's her special secret.
