Yellow Wallpaper

            
             It was a beautiful, warm Thursday evening. I was wandering foolishly through the neighbor's gardens in search of glowing fireflies. I stumbled across a group of three fireflies, all with their lights shining, except for one.
             As I knelt down to pick up the helpless little creature, I heard a strange and unfamiliar noise. I flung myself to the ground as not to be caught. I clung to the grass for a few minutes, but the sound would not stop. I slowly raised my head to see what could be capable of making this sort of strange noise. A third story window in the house that occupied the property I was trespassing on caught my attention. .
             A dim, yellow light shined in the room. I saw strange shadows on the ceiling, which I made out to be a woman. She looked to be circling the room in a slow manner. In her hands she grasped a large object, something flimsy and lightweight. I crawled to the base of an apple tree and carefully climbed up to the top branch. From there, I could confirm my speculations. .
             I could not believe what my eyes saw; a deranged woman tearing wallpaper off the wall of her room, and flailing it around violently. The tearing of the wallpaper was the unexplainable sound that I had been hearing. Scared, I jumped out of the tree and ran home in fear of my life. Since that night, I have never stepped foot on that property again.
