There was loud rustling in the other room before his parents rushed in. They quickly rushed him into the closet and made sure that there was nobody else in the room."Momma and dadda are going to be gone for a while. We will see you soon!" His mother said before kissing him on the forehead.
"As soon as you get to heaven, you can see us. Okay?"
They quickly left when they heard the yelling. The boy just sitting in his closet, waiting for his "okay, you can get out now".
He considered peeking out, but he didn't want to ruin the surprise. He suspected there would be one, since it was in fact his 6th birthday. But he truly didn't know what "heaven" was. Not how to get there.
His thoughts were clouded to the point where he barely noticed the gunshots firing.
