Drip...Drip... the sound of the rain.
Creak..Creak.. the sound of the wooden floors.
Meow.. the sound of bob, his cat.
Splash..splash the sound of him splashing the water from the faucet.

Wade couldn't remember exactly what killed his wife. All he knew, he called out the villagers when he touched the frigid hand of his wife. He knew from an instant, he couldn't hear her wife breathing.

Creak...creak.. Sound of footsteps on his wooden floor.

Wade was cautious this time. He knew exactly, he had closed the door before. He took the knife from the counter. He tiptoed through the hallways.

He inhaled, and exhaled. Trying to control his ragging breath. Wade swing the knife to the air.

Creak.. Creak.. Another footsteps. This time he knew it wasn't his footstep only, there was another footstep.

Bang.. Bang.. The voice of a banging through the door.

Thump.. Thump.. Wade's heartbeat are going crazy.

Wade stood there in silence, waiting for the anonymous person to go away.

Creak... Creak.. He could hear the footstep again.

But, it's coming closer than before.

Splat..

He could feel a sting on his stomach. A knife had pierced him, he knelt down on his knees, touching what seem to be a sticky liquid and he smelled a nasty odor.

He passed out.

Creak.. Creak.. He could still fell his wound. But, his body was pulled somewhere.

The next day, police found wade's body on the same spot when his wife was killed. He was also stabbed in the same spot.
