I was home alone and scared out of my **1**. I could hear 
the wind **2** and off in the distance (a/an) **3** 
was howling. I crossed the room, locked the **4**, and 
climbed into bed, pulling the **5** over my **6**. 
Then it happened. I could hear (a/an) **7** **8** 
up the stairs. My **9** started to chatter and my knees 
began **10**. The **11** was thrust 
open and there was a huge **12** with hair all over his 
**13**. It was my father, "Hi, we're home," he said **14**. 
"Hope you weren't afraid of staying home alone.". "No," I said, lying through my 
**15**.
