Mackenzie heard the loud creaking sound of the tool shed door and her heart began to race. Terrified that one of the Hendersons saw the door open and came to investigate, Mackenzie whirled around and looked to the door.
The good news was that nobody was entering the tool shed. The bad news, the very bad news, was that the door was being pushed closed! Within seconds, Mackenzie was in near total darkness as the door shut completely, blocking out the generous amount of light it had let in.
