Writing Challenge #3.

Last fall, some friends and I were hanging out. It was late at night and we had nothing to do. We decided to go for a drive and just see where we ended up. As we drove, we came upon a eerie and dank cemetery. I was wary of entering the cemetery at first, but as soon as I saw how ardently my friends felt about going, I decided it would all be fine. As we walked along, we began to hear voices. We looked around, but we did not see anyone else there. In the sky, there were crows circling the sky and squirrels running around the tomb stones. In the distance, there was a dog barking. We continued walking, and as we walked, we kicked the superfluous leaves around. We all stopped kicking the leaves as soon as we heard someone else doing it. Again, we looked around, but could find nothing. We decided that it was all in our heads, but thought maybe our parents would be worried so we turned around. Just as we turned around, we saw a shadow creeping across the lawn. As soon as we looked in the direction of the shadow, it disappeared; it was no longer existent. We began to run and as we ran we all felt as if we were being chased. Just as we were walking up to the gates, it swung shut. We could see are car, but were not able to get to it. The wind was so strong that we were not able to open the gate. We decided to go to the next gate. Just as we turned our backs, the gate swung open. We escaped while we could and went to the car. That was our adventure in the cemetery...
