POOL PARTY CANCELLED...

YOU BEG YOUR MOM TO HAVE A SLEEPOVER WITH YOUR FAVORITE COUSINS AND SHE AGREES. YOU WANT TO SLEEP IN TENTS IN YOUR BASEMENT SO DAD HELPS YOU PUT TENTS UP FOR THE NIGHT. YOU AND YOUR COUSINS WATCH MOVIES, EAT SNACKS AND HAVE LOTS OF FUN BEFORE BEDTIME. THE MOON IS SHINING BRIGHTLY BEFORE YOU AND YOUR COUSINS HEAD DOWN TO GO TO SLEEP. ABOUT WEE HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT- A LOUD CRASHING NOISE IS HEARD AND SHAKES THE GROUND AND BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE BASEMENT YOU FEEL IT MORE. THEN ANOTHER CRACKLING SOUND AND BOOM AND BOOM AND ANOTHER CRACKLING BOOM. NO MORE PEACEFUL SLEEP...
