For my entry, I decided to include all the dice and created a short story called, Home Alone". 

  • foot (footsteps)
  • house
  • eye (stare)
  • scary shadow
  • star
  • plane (flight)
  • arrow (all direction)
  • abacus (counting)
  • weighing scale (unbalance = something's off)

Enjoy! (^_^)

HOME ALONE


One cold and chilly night, a boy named Yuu was left alone in their house. His mom and dad are on their flight to South Korea for a business trip. It wasn't his first time alone, but he felt something's quite off.

He was in his room... on his bed with blanket over his head. He felt that someone's watching him from somewhere. The stares were painful that he felt goosebumps on his spine. So, he decided to get out of bed, turn on his lights, sit by the window and look at the sky. "Stars! They sure are beautiful!" he mumbled to distract himself and started counting them one by one.

It was effective. "WAS". That's what he first thought until he heard footsteps. His heart started to race... Lubbdubb.. Lubbdubb.. His heart screamed. T'was going to all directions! He could  no longer feel it on his chest. Lubbdubb.. Lubbdubb... 

His bedroom door creakily opened and a shadow reflected on the wall. He was about to scream and fall when, "Yuu, we missed our flight! What's up with you?"


--THE END--
