House with a sound.

It seemed to be a silent night even though this town never had this sort of an image, even during the darkest hours you would hear cars honking and traffic building up but still today was strangely quiet.I was walking through an old rather worn out house and wondered out loud that 'This house seems unfamiliar, or did i never notice before?' i tried peeking in through the brown thorn like doors but the big mansion stood silent and abandoned , just as i was thinking about how i was going to reach home as it was getting this late and everyone would be worried, i heard a sound, it came from the mansion and it wasn't a scream nor a laugh it was probably something worse as it felt someone was getting choked to the point of blood dripping out through their nose. The imagination made a series of shivers run down my spine but i wanted to know as my curiosity was making me reach through the door and to my surprise it was open it cracked open in a sudden motion just by the touch of my hand. 

I entered, there was a large garden but most of the plants were dead it felt like no one had came here since a long time, bats were chirping in a nearby distance making the whole situation more terrifying than it was, i started going towards the house and again to my surprise the door was open i let myself in, the door slammed behind me making me startle and i went stumbling down the ground i picked myself up and dusted my jacket. this house has been abandoned for many years but why did i hear a voice coming from here if no one ever lived here?

The stair way was large and my legs started trembling from the awful lot of distance that i had to complete but finally i found a room and it was exactly where the voice had came from , the window was broken it felt like someone had did that on purpose just as i was trying to figure out the mystery of the window 

something came from behind , it had cold hard claws and a cruel choking laugh, i turned around very slowly 

obviously shocked and it had its claws on my shoulder my eyes were staring at its hideous mouth which was dripping some sort of a green chemical, it was bald and had big red feathers .Definitely not a human my first instinct was to 'run' but it spoke and said 'no one can escape this house. and now that you have seen this form of mine, you can't survive',with a sudden motion it dug it's hard nails into my head making me bleed out of my eyeballs i cried and screamed and begged to let me go but the thing kept laughing and green foam dripped through it's slit mouth as it graved it's nails into my plump brain , i cried the words 'stop! why are you doing this !' but no mercy was shown

And with that i woke up with beads of sweat on my forehead and a helpless hand on my head finally i had realized that this was just a brutal nightmare and the nail digging monster was just a part of my imagination.

the only thing I would note is when the door slammed closed he should be more concerned with that than a voice unless you add that the wind closed it. ;)

well that's true , but he was really engrossed in finding out what that voice was and which room it had been heard from that's why when he fell from the slam of the door he picked himself up without being so concerned but i should have added 'the wind had closed it' i guess.
