Alice and I were sharing a room (5) ………the 1^st floor; then one night just (6)………….. 4.30, a scream woke me (7) ……

“Oh no, Alice!” I thought.

Immediately I looked (8) …………her bed, but it was empty. I got out (9)….....bed to the room where Alice used to sleep, but it was empty, too.

I went(10) …………………trying not to make any noise; I had decided to be courageous, but (11)……that moment I saw a terrifying shadow (12)………..the kitchen and I thought that it would be a good idea to phone the police. I crept (13)……………….…. the dinning-room because that was where the phone was. However, I was looking(14) ……….…

my shoulder to keep an eye(15) ……….the shadow, when I cut my hand (16)……….a glass.

“I'm not going (17)………… shout, “ I thought. But when I saw my hand covered (18)…………. blood and discovered some more glass and more blood, I decided “I'm going to shout!”. So I shouted so loudly that the shadow started to move, and it was moving (19) ……………… me! I picked (20)………. a piece of glass (21)…………the floor to die (22)………dignity but when the owner of the shadow appeared (23)…………….the corridor she asked me:

“Oh, thanks.”

“No. The blood. The scream and…the glass.”

“The blood is ketchup, the pieces of glass were the ketchup bottle and my scream was caused (24)…………the bottle when it fell (25) ……………my foot.”
