Mysterious Strangers.

My legs were beginning to cramp as I sat motionless in my hiding place. I tried to slow my breathing, but I could hear my heartbeat drumming in my ears. I wondered if it could be heard in the deafening silence. I felt my calf muscle tighten painfully and as a reaction, I shifted my weight. The sound echoed and it was my fatal mistake. I knew that they had heard me so I slowly crept out of my hiding place and started to try and find a new hiding spot before they found me. Then I spotted a ladder leading to the attic. I climbed the ladder and searched for a new hiding spot. I soon found one. I went to it slowly and quietly as I could.

I heard voices shouting downstairs, they were searching for me. I stayed as still as I could and held my breath. After ten minutes they finally decided that I had left the room so they left and started searching for me in the rest of the house. Thankfully they didn't notice the ladder. They eventually left the house thinking I got out through a back door.

I waited 15 minutes in case they came back. After I was sure they wouldn't come back, I started to explore the attic. I soon learned that the previous owners had a huge collection of comic books. I decided to read some to pass the time since I couldn't leave without getting caught.
