Cher journal (document en anglais)

Dear diary,

I have to tell you something, last night was the most frightening night of my life. Are you ready ? As you know my grannie died 2 months ago, the police said that it was a murder but I don't think so. I knew that something was strange, I told the police my suspicions about the death and they said to me that I should stop watching television. Do I really look like someone who is watching television ? I don't even have electricity, I don't have any money, I live in my dead grandmother's old farmhouse, this is my life. In short, let's say no more about my adventure with the police and return to the subject. Yesterday I invited some friends to celebrate my first night in my dusty house. Do you remember Jack, the one who pushed me in the stairs in 9th grade and who was completely crazy, he believed in werewolfs and vampires, well, he is Jamie's husband, my old bestfriend. He came in my house with all smile, I wanted to push him just the same way as he did to me six years ago, personal revenge but I saw Jamie's look. Her eyes were different, I did not pay attention but I should had. So the house-warming went well until the old clock struck midnight. Jack heard the wolves howling whereas Jamie was talking with Celeste about the weather to avoid saying that they were petrified. At the end of the supper everybody decided to go home and left me alone with the household and the dishes, this is what we can call true friends! They left the house, I decided not to clean up and I went to sleep. I turned out the light that is to say my only candle in my chamber. Then, a strange noise resound and woke me up suddendly, I fell down the bed, the room was so dark that I couldn't see the candle which was usually by my bedside, so I couldn't find it. I heard doors slaming everywhere, I'd the impression that someone was stalking me with the sound of footsteps around me. Then nothing, no more noise. I started to dread something, I lighted the candle and walked around the house, the floor creaked under my feet. The glow lit only my face, I was gasping as fast as I could. I went to the kitchen then the shutters opened at one stroke, the moon shone henceforth the room. Thanks to that I saw a shadow, I jump, I was so scared that all my body was trembling. The shadow moved, I didn't have the same chance, I couldn't move, I was paralysed with fear, I didn't know what to do, stay laying on the floor of my kitchen and be killed by the animal or run away. I chose the good one, I stayed, I wanted to know what was the shadow. It get closer and closer, I tried to get away but I was afraid of the monster. Then I heard somebody knock on the window, the darkness was hiding the face. The man made a strong impact, I thought he would break the window then « Hello? » somebody was whispering, I became crazy, I listened carefully « Somebody's in here ? », the man was shouting, I didn't know why. I looked in front of me, the shadow of the corner disappeared. I started to panic. I opened my eyes and I saw the neighbour looking at the window with flowers in his hands. Stupid nightmares.
