In the summer of '69, there was a young boy, age 15, who lived in a local town called Smallville. Many of the people in the town had lived there most of their lives. His family had lived on the same street since before he was born – a boulevard with large dumpsters and most of the homes damaged. He knew everyone on the block. It was a typical hot and humid summer, but what made this summer unique, was that there was a serial killer about. There were not many facts about the murders, or the murderer himself, so what people thought they knew, were mostly rumours. It was all over the news, and the police confirmed five killings since the start of the year. What frightened this young boy the most, were not the killings, not how many more will be killed, but the way the killer slaughtered his victims. First off, he would stab his victims using a machete. He would stab once and toy with his victims. The boy had heard that some of the victims were stabbed multiple times, hung or even 'Columbian Neck-Tied'.

Most of these details, or theories were obtained as information from a woman who managed to survive this murderer's attack. She reported to the police that she came home to the whole house being black... No noise, nothing. Then all of a sudden someone grabbed her and she was stabbed multiple times, brutally bashed and then found, still alive, hanging from her bedroom ceiling. She chose to think that the power was out because that was how she left the house, but when a table lamp just suddenly switched on behind her, she knew he was there, she knew that she was next! She had no time to run, it was an ambush. Chanel 7, 9 and 10 news all showed the exact same footage, her lying in a hospital bed, head wrapped in great big bandages, scars on her neck, stab wounds on her arms and legs and her eyes, black and blue and swollen shut. She described how this man was, or could have been, much similar to a wild animal. She explained how she play dead by just collapsing and falling to the floor after he sliced open the back of her skull and stabbed her in the liver. She lay on the ground, lifeless, motionless, hoping he would stop and believe she was dead, but he didn't! He just kept hacking away at her lifeless body, she had lost so much blood that it was amazing how she managed to 'come back to life'. Listening to her details, and her own story on the news, hearing rumours from others horrified this boy. He could only imagine what it would have been like, and only hope that he was not the next target on this crazed persons list.

The next day, the boy woke up to an empty house, no parents, no brother, no sister. He got up and took a look around. Suddenly, he heard a thump in the basement... Being 'brave', he went to check it out. He got to the entrance, and heard multiple screams, opening the door, his whole family had been brutally murdered all bloody and hanging from the ceiling... The most disturbing thing was his father, dangling with his tongue pulled through his throat. Fuck, it was him! He turned to run, but his muscles clamped in fear. A huge, grotty hand grabbed him by the throat and he could feel fresh blood dripping down his shirt. A thundering, maniacal laugh echoed in his ears before the murderer's inhuman voice whispered, "Hi, do you want to play with me...?"

All of a sudden the lights went out, and one last yelp was heard. The boy and his family were never heard from again, and their bodies, never found...
