If Shanna hadn't called me a selfish, stuck-up brat, I NEVER
would have seen the Phantom. But Shanna had acted like a jerk and
our friendship was over. So instead of being asleep at 11:45, I was
awake. I kept thinking about Shanna. Maybe I should have let her
copy my history test. Cheating was wrong, but we WERE best friends.
I looked out my bedroom window over to Shanna's house. No light
in her room. Bet she was sound asleep. The jerk!
 As I glanced away, I noticed a light in the orchard behind my
house. Like a floating ghost, the small light flickered between
shadowy trees, disappearing and then reappearing through tangled
branches.
Someone or SOMETHING was out there. And it was coming closer. I
wanted to call 911 or my parents. But I couldn't move. The
flickering light grew larger. Then I saw IT. A huge floating dark
blob. And it carried something long and silvery. A SHOVEL.
A dog barked, shattering the quiet night. I knew that dog. Taffy
belonged to Shanna. We'd found the tiny bundle of white fur while
collecting aluminum cans last summer. So when a whirl of white
jumped over the fence into the orchard, I freaked out. Oh, no!
Taffy, come back!
I flung on a jacket and raced outside. Tiny Taffy had the heart
of a lion, but the paws of a rabbit. She would be helpless against
the shadowy Phantom.
