The scents of asparagus and onions filled the air as I was chopping up some strawberries for dessert. It was awfully quiet and then a scream came from the attic which was a forbidden place for everyone. I grabbed the bat that was in the shoe closet. Then I made my way upstairs. To my disgust I saw a trail of blood leading to the attic when there was a “BANG!” I held the bat up as If I was going to hit someone and then walked closer to the attic ladder. “Ahhhhh!” I screamed. Half of someone’s hand fell to the ground. That’s when I saw it. I knew this was coming. He had killed my mother and now he was out to get me. I bolted to the front door but it was locked. There it was a stab womb right through my heart. I started tearing up and blood gushed out. He dragged me to the basement and then removed his mask as my eyes start to start. Daddy? Is that you?
