The Thing in The Corner

Chapter 3: Knife To Meet You

"What was that?!" Asked Derek. Gene started to dash up the stairs. "JESSE!" He said. The rest of the boys, including Harley, followed right behind. "Where did it come from?" Asked Derek. "Where did it go?" questioned Zeke. "Where did it come from?" asked Jack, again. "COTTON EYED JOE!" yelled Gene. "Not the time, Gene!" scolded Harley. "I'm pretty sure it came from the kitchen," said Derek. The boys dashed to the kitchen, only to find poor Jeese on the ground, covered in blood.

"WHAT THE HELL!?!" yelled Zeke, with his voice breaking. Jack kneels down beside Jesse, crying over his bloody corpse. Zeke looks at the mess in horror, as if he had just looked death himself in the eye. Out of the party, Harley appears to be the only one not crying. "What do you guys even think happened?" asked Harley. "I remember...he came up here to get ice for you-" before finishing, Zeke makes a leap of anger towards Harley. "YOU SON OF A-" Zeke gets cut off by Gene, who holds Zeke back. "This isn't the time to be at someone's neck, Zeke!" Exclaimed Gene. "This obviously isn't Harley's fault," said Jack. "Yeah. So, we know Jesse came up her for ice, alone," said Harley. "but that doesn't quite explain how he all of a sudden died." "Guys, look!" said Derek, pointing to Jesse's back. "He has a knife in his back!" "He literally got back stabbed!" Said Gene. "Maybe when he was getting the ice pack, he slipped or something. It's like how people say don't run with scissors." "Only this time, he wasn't holding the knife," said Harley. The boys were quite confused at what Harley had said. "You see, the knives aren't even close to the freezer, so it's impossible that the knives could have fell on him. It is also impossible for Jesse to have slipped and fell and accidentally stabbed himself, because how could have Jesse stabbed himself in his back?"
