STORY OF A WINTER NIGHT It was a cold winter night. My brother and I were watching a horror movie on the couch, each with our own blanket, when suddenly I heard a noise in the kitchen. I did not care. Some time later I heard it again, and my brother too. Although scared, we got up and went to the kitchen to see what it was. On the way, we heard a noise, just the same as before, and we stopped suddenly, but in a moment, we were already walking there. When we got to the door, we decided to stick our heads out of the door at the count of three, and so it was. We couldn’t believe what was inside. Aitor Chorén Sende 4º D
