Freewrite Prompt: Bulb

Some cold breeze swung by and she could feel all the goosebumps all over her body. Was it her or was the wind really howling? The whole atmosphere around her became spooky.

"I am just probably overthinking," thought Charlotte after she had just moved in to her new room. "I don't believe in ghosts or spirits."

As soon as she was thinking this, the bulb in her room flickered. Not just once, but three times. Weirdly and strangely, it was all 3 bulbs from different lamps flickering at once.

Two days ago, Charlotte had just moved into the city and found this really good tenancy deal. She was so happy that without thinking, she just agreed to rent the attic because she wanted to save as much cash as she could. Her job was only going to start in half a month's time so she better watch her expenses.

Charlotte plucked up some courage and went to the each switch of the bulbs. She switched it on and off. The lights came back on and they stayed that way for some time.

Suddenly, she heard some children chuckling. She looked around and saw no one. "Who's there? Come out and show yourself!"

No one came out. Charlotte started to tremble and she quickly reached for her phone. "How can it have no reception now? It was functioning just a while ago."

Then she heard footsteps. They were getting closer, closer and CLOSER... Then, there was a knock on the door and some chuckles again!

"Darling, you may want to shut the window. I think a storm is coming!"

The bulbs flickered again.
