It was 12.30 on Friday night and Mitch was in bed.
He was tired, but he wasn’t asleep. His parents
weren’t at home. They were away for the weekend,
and Mitch was alone in the house for the first time.
It was very dark and quiet, but Mitch wasn’t afraid.
After all, he wasn’t a kid any more, he was
seventeen. What was there to be afraid of? And
anyway there was a telephone downstairs, and
What was that? And that? Were they noises? Or
was it just his imagination? No, there were definitely
noises downstairs. There was someone – or
