She Heard Footsteps
As Jenna gingerly opened the door to the Lay family home, a disconcerting sound reached her ears – faint but unmistakable footsteps echoing on the stairs. Perplexed, she paused for a moment, her senses heightened. The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning – Brendan’s parents were at work, and the house should have been empty.
The inexplicable presence of footsteps in their absence set Jenna’s heart pounding with a mix of confusion and trepidation. You can only imagine how scared she was. Who is this inside the house? What is he doing? It is a threat! It is bad to hear something like this when alone, let alone with the kid in your hand. The next thing is even more bizarre.
