“The Yellow House” (Literary Fiction – First-Person Narrative)
I never liked the yellow house at the end of the street. It always seemed too quiet, too still. When I walked past it on my way to school, I felt like someone was watching me.
One day, I saw a curtain move. No wind, no open window—just a slow, deliberate shift. I told my brother, but he laughed. “You’ve got an overactive imagination,” he said.
Maybe I do. But I still cross the street when I pass that house

“a curtain move… a slow, deliberate shift”
This image is eerie because the curtain moves with no wind or open window and is described as “slow, deliberate,” suggesting intent or a presence and creating a strong sense of unease.
