Lily often looked out of her window at night when she couldn’t sleep. One night, she saw a woman standing in her neighbour’s doorway, with matted hair and a scary face. Lily stared in fear, unable to move. Just then, she jumped in fright as she felt something at her feet. “Willy! I thought I let you out before I went to bed,” she scolded her dog. Then, she saw an old mop leaning against the window and felt embarrassed to be scared so easily. The next night, Lily let Willy out and slept peacefully only to be awoken by a sharp tap on her window. Lily saw a blackened hand resting against the window and a glimpse of that matted hair. As the woman turned away, she smiled at Lily and limped out of view. But a moment later, Lily heard a screeching yelp. “Oh no…Willy!” she cried but dared not go out!
