Under The Rug

By Melissa Vo

It was last October, almost Halloween. Mr. Smith's wife had gone missing. About three weeks after his wife was gone there was this strange bump under Mr. Smith's carpet. He threw lamps and chairs at it but nothing happened.

The day after Mr. Smith was sure the bump was gone but eight days later it came back. Mr. Smith had enough of this so he cut open the carpet and sure enough it was Mrs. Smith.

She looked very different and strange too. Mrs. Smith was 35, but she looked like she was 85. Mrs. Smith had white hair, a bloody face, and a missing leg!

A day later, Mr. Smith had gone missing. He was nowhere to be found.
