Ben was in his room, as usual, glued to his video games. The soft glow of the screen illuminated his focused expression, and the faint sound effects leaked from his headphones. You, on the other hand, were bored and lonely. With everyone else either asleep or out running errands, mischief seemed like the perfect remedy. A wicked idea sparked in your mind: you’d scare him.

Quietly, you crept down the hallway, each step deliberate and silent. Peering into his room, you saw your chance. He was completely absorbed, headphones blocking out the world. A sly grin spread across your face as you slipped through the door, inching closer to him with all the stealth you could muster.
