 A Strange Event

    Something happened last week that didn’t let me sleep peacefully. In the middle of the night, I heard a mysterious noise. At first, I decided not to think about it. However, after a couple of nights hearing the same disturbing noise coming from the living room, I decided to investigate. Quietly,  I rose from my bed, put on my slippers and, very slowly, opened my bedroom’s door. Suddenly, the noise stopped. Calmly, I went back to sleep. The next night, the same happened. Two days later, I realized that some walls were chipped on the corners. I couldn’t figure out if the chips on the walls were related to the mysterious sound at night. I needed an explanation but I had no theories. The situation was driving me crazy. “It can’t be Kissy”, I thought. Because I wanted to solve that mystery as soon as possible, I decided to use my camcorder to record any unusual activity in my living room at night while I was sleeping. The next day after watching the video, everything made sense: My dog, Kissy, had been gnawing the corners of the walls!
