A young boy is sleeping on a usual night. He hears footsteps outside his bedroom door, and he peaks out of the corner of his eye to see what is happening. His door swings open quietly to reveal a murderer carrying the corpses of his dead parents. After silently propping them up on a chair he writes something on the wall in the blood of the dead bodies. He then hides under the child's bed.
The child is scared beyond belief. He can't read the writing on the wall and he knows the man is under the bed. Like any child, he pretends he slept through the whole thing and hasn't woken yet. He lays as still as the bodies, quietly hearing the breaths from under his bed.
An hour passes, and his eyes are slowly adjusting more to the darkness. He tries to make out the words, but it's a struggle. He gasps when he finally makes out the sentence.
"I know you're awake". He feels something shift under his bed.
