John and I were walking down a dark alley late one night coming back home from a play. We passed by a few trash cans and a cat jumped out at us. The cat ran away.
We continued to walk away when we heard a noise and turned around standing at the entrance to the alley was a man wearing a swan mask. He was staring at us. We froze watching the man for several
seconds until the man started to back away.
We continued down the alley till we came to the exit. We looked back one more time to the man he was halfway down the alley he had a knife in his hand John and I took off running.
We got back to my house and locked the door. The next morning I woke up and checked the mail box for the newspaper to my surprise a “Swan mask” was lying on the ground next to the mailbox.
