granny smell I grew up listening many stories about supernatural beings. my granfather always told me stories about ghosts, werewolf and bad witches. my eyes were wide, my excitement was visible.the nights in which he told me those stories I was sure I'd have bad dreams. one that nights when I was nine years old, I woke very afraid. my heart was pounding quickly and I was breaking in sweat and trembling all over, like I was in the north pole. suddenly I heard a noise. it was heavy footsteps on the roof, and a deep breath. I was terrified. I closed my eyes and my ears. I didn't want to see that creature. I heard when the beast jump down and walked into my room. I didn't want to open my eyes, but I couldn't simply stay there waiting the monster to attach me. so I dicided to open my eyes; I wanted to close it again, but I couldn't. I was numb, all those raw emotions came to me at the same time. hot tears started to flow on my cheeks, no even i was crying. the creature had red eyes long-sharp teeth. its smell was something like sulphur its fur were long and brown. i was petrified. I didn't know if I ran or screamed. I've never had a fear like that. I decided to fight. I grabbed my pillow. exactly; my pillow. it was my unique gun besides my scream. I started hit the monster with my pillow. it saw in my eyes my determination to continue to fighting. then it gave up and ran away. I recovered my breath in a few minutes. I laughed feeling myself like a hero for made a monster surrender itself using only a pillow. it was torn cause the beast bit the pillowcase...I fell sleep. in the morning I woke up and I was in a hurry to the kitchen where my parents and my grandparents was already at the table for the breakfast. I wanted to tell my story to them. the first person that I looked was my gandpa who gave me a tap on the back and smiled to me. I sat down beside my grandma who gave me a good morning kiss and smiled too. my blood congealed, my knee ran away... while my grandma smiled I saw many fabric's threads of my pillowcase between her teeth.
