The Dark Shadow

  This is a short story about a girl named Jen who discovers the mystery of the dark shadow.....

   
         One night, Jen was sitting on a couch in her living room. She is reading a book about a kangaroo who was animal-napped and was brought to Los Angeles. It was a funny story. Then suddenly Jen's sister, Clara, shouts from the kitchen. "Jen!!" Clara shouts. Jen was shocked and said, "What, Clara??!!" Then, Jen closed her book and went to the kitchen. When Clara saw her sister, she ran to Jen and hugged her. 
"Jen, I saw a black shadow! It must be a GHOST!" Clara said. 
"No way! There is no ghost, so don't be like that." Jen said clearly. 
"So, if you say there's a ghost, show me! I'll beat him up with my tae kwon do kicks!" Jen said, loudly. 
   Then, Jen and Clara heard a screeching sound. 
"Hear that?!" Clara shouts, "It's a ghost!"
"Well, that screeching sound seems to be a ghost. But, I haven't see him! So, there's still no ghost!" Jen declared.
  Then, Clara and Jen saw a black, dark shadow from behind the refrigerator.
"Look at that shadow! It's a ghost!!" exclaimed Clara.
  Jen wasn't sure that it's a ghost, so she ran closer to the shadow. Then, the screeching sound begins again. Jen became more curious so she came closer to the shadow. But then...

  A RAT CAME OUT FROM THE BACK OF THE REFRIGERATOR!!

Jen was shocked, but then she said to Clara with an angry face, "See! It's a rat! It's no ghost!"
Clara was shy, and then went back to her room. Jen  was relieved, and continues to read the book.
