This was a gripping story, @ubani1! I really liked it. You do a great job of building the fear and suspense. But it does feel like something is missing, or not quite finished in the story. What happened to the nanny? What was this creature? Why was it there, and what made it go away?
There are a few good ways to resolve the build up of suspense in a story like this. For example, the boy could do something to scare off the creature (like in Home Alone). Or the boy could turn on the radio and hear that some creature had escaped from a lab, and call the number provided... then the authorities could come just in time as the creepy creature is battering down his door. Or it could turn out that the creature is really the nanny's boyfriend playing a trick on them. But we readers want some kind of resolution of explanation! I hope this gives you some ideas, for this story or a future one! :-)
I love your work. Keep writing!
