Don't Make It Easy

Why do we turn on lights when we are afraid? As if the light is going to stop something from killing you.

I used to live by that rule. You see I live on a farm. About half an away away from an sort of town. I live by myself on this farm. The house belonged to my parents but they have passed away recently.

I don't have a wife or children.

I live by myself in this big house. I pay a ridiculous amount of money on power because of my irrational fears.

I pay so much because I needed the lights on. I felt safe when the lights on.

A long with the lights I turned on the t.v, the radio, anything that made noise. If anything, creating a lot of noise in the house would give the murderer an advantage.

Not like I thought about that before.

Another thought? When the sun came up I was safe. Does that even make sense? It's going to burn like vampire or something like that.

I should have put garlic all over my house damn.

Hell, I should have had holy water in bottles ready to be thrown. What was I so paranoid for? Vampires don't exist yet I did all of this.

Well, it's not like I expected a vampire.

What did I expect?

Something scary. That's about it. That's all my panorama could give me. Something scary was going to happen.

I had to be prepared for it.

But turning on a bunch of lights and making a lot of noise could not prepare me. What would that prepare anyone for?

One would use the noise to their advantage like I mentioned before. Also, someone could just easily turn the lights off.

But you'd need to work around that unless you wanted to build up tension like you switch a light off and then creep away and see your victim get freaked out about the light and continue to do this for an hour before moving on to a next tactic.

What would be the next tactic? I suppose it would be attempting to make a louder noise that the t.v, or even turning it off.

Just flip the victim out.

But then you'd have to up your sneakiness.

Be quieter.

What would be next?

Make appearances for the victim and then just shy away in the darkness. Yeah that would what they would do next.

And finally, just stay still for the victim to see you. They will either flee and stay in place.

What they wouldn't expect is for you to use your imagination and pretend you are in a movie and pull out the knife you kept in your pocket of your pants out of panorama and become the murderer.

I see why they do it, I suppose one could get a high from doing this.

But the ending could always be different depending on the person.

So many endings.

How will it be when I get to your house?

Is your house in the city?

Maybe a apartment complex.

Or even on a farm like how it all started for me.

Or in a small town.

An Acreage?

Just tell me you won't be stupid like me and make it easy alright? Oh and heads up, yes you'll be home alone when I do it, I want to see the shocked faces of your friends or family when they return and see your bloody remains.

See you hopefully soon.
