TV Trouble Part One

Date Written: About a year ago

Sabrina, a 12 year old girl, was watching TV with her dad. The TV suddenly went berserk and the picture was no longer clear. Her dad got up slamming his foot into the TV cursing. Sabrina was supposed to stay home alone the next day, she remembered. Her mom was supposed to get home at 2:30, and her dad at 3:00. Every time she stayed home alone, she never knew when her parents walked in the door, so she was going crazy in her room. Her mom never notices when her dad smashes the TV, until someone tells her. Her mom was already in bed, and she leaves earlier than her dad, so she won’t know until she would get home, and Sabrina told her. That would mean Sabrina would be home alone with no TV to watch when she got bored, because her parents would have no time to buy a new one. Sabrina went to bed soon after the thirty fifth TV was broken that night. Throughout the night, something strange happened. The broken TV put itself back together and sprouted arms and legs. Then the screen flickered on with two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

The next morning, Sabrina got up to go see if her dad really broke the TV or if it was a dream. But when she got to the living room, the TV was gone. All that was left were four carpet circles where the TV once was. Sabrina ran back into her room petrified. She fell to sleep on her mattress bed not too long after she laid down on it. She woke up at about 2:35. She heard a knocking sound on her door.

“What?” She mumbled.

“Scooby Doo is on right now, isn’t it?” said a faint voice. Sabrina suddenly remembered the missing TV. She quickly got her sling shot and a marble.

“Is something wrong? Can I come in?” Asked the voice.

“Come on in!” exclaimed faintly.
