Short Story

      "Katie and Mr.Smiley: the Creepy Christmas Present."

One afternoon Katie was walking down the hall when something caught her eye; a small, wrapped box sat on her bedroom floor. She walked  over and sat down. She opened the box and '' Hee Hee Hee'' went the toy from inside the box. 
"How did it make noises on its own?" Katie wondered. It was a rubber yellow ball. When Katie squeezed the squishy ball, the toy's eyes bulged out, which made her feel scared and curious at the same time. She was confused about where this bizarre toy came from!

 Katie ran from her room to the den where she came up with a name for the mischievous toy..." Mr.Smiley."
 Five minutes later, she looked to her left and saw that Mr.Smiley was on the couch right where Katie was, making the noise that put chills down her spine. 
Two hours later the toy was in Katie's bag of chips, and when she was on the swing Mr.Smiley was next to her. 
The next day Mr.Smiley was in Katie's basement while she was playing tag with her brother. 
"That's it! You are going back where you came from!" she screamed. 
As she walked back to her bedroom, Mr.Smiley started to talk, he said ''I have a surprise for you.'' 
 When they got to the room , another box was there with a Mrs. Smiley inside! 
''There are two of you now, OH NO!''
... Dun Dun Dun!
