Courage

When I was still in the States, my friends and I went to a City Halloween Fair that had many amusement rides and entertainment shows. We were only in 5th grade, so not many of us had the courage to enter the 'Spooky House' that was hidden in the corner of the park. The Spooky House was known for it's blood-chilling surprises inside it. A rumor that a real ghost with long, black hair was lurking around the house to attack anybody who opens the door. Of course, this was a fake ghost made out of pillowsheets. But the thought of the ghost jumping on us was frightening and also exciting. Although my friends didn't dare to enter, I grit my teeth and opened the door. But......to tell you the truth.....I just ran across the house all the way to the exit with my eyes closed and don't remember any ghost that jumped or startled me.......I only remember the cold knob of the opening door and the hard wood of the exiting door.
