100 Word challenge, Week #7, As the door slammed, I knew somebody was here…

It was another night I was spending home alone, my parents were out for their 20th anniversary. These were the nights I dreaded most, I was terrified of most things, at school I always got called a big scaredy cat. Then suddenly the power went off, the shadows of the rustling trees looked like bodies reaching out to grab me. I lit a candle to bring some light into the room. The flame slowly faded away. As the door slammed, I knew somebody was here. I locked all the windows and doors until I knew I was safe to sleep.
