Theres a killer in the cellar!


The door slammed shut tightly as Lexis’s parents left the new house to go into town to celebrate their twenty fifth anniversary. Lexis poured herself a glass of juice and sat down in what was supposed to be their family’s living room. Lexis had just moved to this small town in Pennsylvania where the roads were curvy they’d make you vomit and the so called “ local gas station” is three miles away. It was nothing like Riverhead, Long Island, New York. For one , there are no beaches in Pennsylvania only lakes and swimming holes. Lets not forget swamps. No star bucks, maybe in the city which is 8 hours away. Plus no Riverhead Raceway.
Lexis was real nervous being home alone in the new house. It was a rickety old farm house. The part of this which made Lexis very nervous and uncomfortable being in this house was that a family had been murdered here. Lexis hadn’t quite heard the whole thing but it had to do with tomato sauce and vinegar. Lexis didn’t know about it now and she didn’t plan on learning the whole thing.
Since the night was still young, Lexis planned to unpack most of her room. When she was unpacking she heard an odd continuing noise coming from the window. She lifted the green upholstered curtain, in her opinion was very ugly, only to find a cardinal with a skinny face and extremely large beak flying up high and soaring through he sky and would continue flying into the window. After awhile Lexis got use to it.
Still unpacking, there was a faint smell of spaghetti sauce and vinegar lingering from the kitchen. Lexis went into the kitchen to her surprise was a large mess of spaghetti sauce and vinegar all over. She was very confused on how this happened. No one was there, or so she thought. They didn’t own spaghetti sauce or vinegar at this time since they just moved in . At this time they were living off of TV dinners for the next week.
As Lexis started cleaning up the mess, she noticed a trail leading up to the cellar door. There were also abnormally grotesque handprints on the door. Lexis was now scared. This meant someone or something was in this house and there’s a chance that it still is. Then is dawned on Lexis that these were the same effects as part of the murder story went. Everyone knows what this means, daunt, daunt, daunt. THERES A KILLER IN THE CELLAR! Once Lexis was finished cleaning up the mess she went to the cellar door. Lexis was shaking and her body was very jittery with perspiration over her lip she opened the cellar door slowly only to find out that there was nothing wrong as far as she could tell. As she walked down the stairs she slipped on that substance of tomato sauce and vinegar and fell down 20 stairs.
later gaining control again she looked around the cellar there were tables set up with candles and pictures of people dieing. Lexis had discovered that there was more than one family murdered in this house.
There was a killer after Lexis and her family. She then screamed and raced up the stairs. But someone had tripped her. But there was nobody down there. Or so she thought. The next thing in Lexis’s mind , were… GHOSTS! When she finally fell backwards she played dead for about ten minutes before she bolted up the stairs. Lexis had made it. As she was pushing boxes up against the cellar door something poked her back. It was a finger of someone. When poor Lexis turned around. A knife was hurled into her stomach killing Lexis Instantly. A life was taken for a life.
When Lexis’s parents came home and noticed she was gone they called the police immediately . They looked for months but LEXI was nowhere to be seen or heard. She was gone. Or so they thought.
