The Lady in The Night

One night while sleeping with my brother we heard strange whispers outside. I checked but found nothing. Later he said “There’s something behind you.” I turned—still nothing. Then I heard a woman softly crying in the night. Curious I went to the backyard but the crying stopped and silence took over. A chill ran down my spine. Fear gripped me and I ran straight to my parents’ room heart pounding. It was a night I’ll never forget.
