Stanly was at home listening to
music. Then he heard a scratch in
the wall. Stanley thought it was just
a mouse but just incase he called
his mom.
“Mom!!” Stanly yelled.
Stanly’s mother said, “Yes,
Stanly?”
“There’s something in the wall,”
Stanly replied.
Stanly’s mother said, “Yeah, I’ve
heard it too. It’s just a mouse.”
What…!?
“Okay,” Stanly replied. He thought
it was a mouse, he just wanted to
make sure.
what is it!?
A
mouse, maybe?
mom!!
there’s something in
the wall!!
yeah, I’ve
heard it, too.
It’s just a
mouse.
okay.
I just
wanted to be
sure.

Later, Stanly got this weird phone
call. He answered the phone. “Hello?”
Stanly said. The person he was on the
phone with didn’t talk. But he heard
himself say, “ Hello.” He thought it
was nothing so he hung up.
Hello!
hello!!
hello!!
“That was weird,” Stanly said to
himself. Stanly went upstairs
because he was getting tired, and so,
he decided to go to bed. He felt like
someone was watching him. That
second he got so cold. And, he heard
another scratch in the wall.
this
whole day
has been
weird.
good grief!!
I’m cold and the scratching is
starting again!!

mom
Can i sleep
here?
Not sure what was going on Stanly
went into his mother’s
bedroom.“Stanly, what are you
doing here?” Stanly’s mother
asked.
“Oh nothing, can I just please sleep
here tonight?” Stanly asked.
“Sure” Stanly’s mother said.
Stanly is still 8 years old and still
doesn’t know what happened to his
dad. He thought in his mind he
would ask his mother tomorrow. He
finally fell asleep at 1:00 AM
because he was thinking of his dad.
He had forgotten about the
scratches in the wall and the weird
phone call.

Stanly went down the stairs with a
smell of pancakes. “Mom do I smell
pancakes?”
mom!
do I smell
pancakes!?
Stanly’s mother laughed “ Haha!
Yes you do. Come down stairs and
sit at the table please.”
“Okay, mom.” Stanly then asked, “
Mom,…what happened to dad..?”
“Oh umm he went to war and died
doing what he thought was right.
He wanted to fight for our country.”
Stanly’s mother said.
“ Yeah I am sure he was a great
guy,” Stanly said.
come
and get
them.!!
“Oh he was,” Stanly’s mother said.
Stanly and his mother ate the
pancakes.
These
pancakes are
so great,
mom!
i”m glad you
like them.
Mom, i’ve
been thinking
about dad. was
dad a good
guy?
Yeah, he
was!

Stanly went back up to his room. He saw a dent in his wall.
Stanly screamed. He now knew something was wrong. He
broke down all the walls in the room. He found a girl in his
bed room wall.
more
scratching and
now dents in the
wall!!
“Hi, what are you doing in the walls?” Stanly asked.
In a very soft voice she said, “ Stay away from me..” In a
very soft voice she said, “ Stay away from me..”
She pulled out a poisonous snake.
what’s in
there!!
who are
you!?
this
is for
you…

Stanly ran but the snake got him. In
a few minutes he had passed away.
And so had his mother trying to save
Stanly.

But then the little girl disappeared...
and they were alive again! They both
woke up.. “What happened?” they
both said. They were so confused.
It’s almost like they had lost their
memories.
and now to
make my escape
I’m so
glad we
survived the girl
in the wall!!
Me,
too!!
i think we should
get out of
here!

They were so upset they had to buy
another house. So they did. They still had
no idea what had happened. But they
never saw any girl in the wall anymore.
They lived safe forever!

stanly lives alone with his
mother. he doesn’t know what
has happened to his dad. and,
then, he hears scratches in the
wall and gets a weird phone
call.
What will happen to him, next?

year old.
