things that go bump in the night

Mr McMuffin slept through the scary banging noises coming from downstairs last night. I could hear loud knocks about every 10 minutes, and thought that the strong wins forecast might be responsible. Then one sounded very loud at the front door, so I decided to investigate. I turned the lights on, because I know from watching horror films that bad things happen if you don't. As I went downstairs I could hear loud knocks on the front door, and eerie scraping noises. I was very brave and called out, asking who was there. I heard an unmistakeable yowl. It was little Slinky. He was so desperate to see us that he was hurling himself at the door in a successful bid for our attention.

Delighted by his achievement he ran upstairs, dripping wet, and landed on the bed. We are so lucky to have such a considerate neighbour.
