"Never Leave the Window Unlocked"

It was one night when I was 16 and I was home alone when I heard something tapping on my room's window.
I thought the tapping was from the pranksters, and I was more of a "leave me alone" guy, so I showed them that I was not interested and closed the curtains shut.

There was the tapping again and the rain started to fall...
And then I remembered...

My room is in the 2nd floor of my house...

How could someone tap my window when it's on the 2nd floor!?

So I waited for the lightning to strike to see if there's someone outside my window and there it was...

A figure that I will never forget...

A morbid scenery of a severed visage, and a body full of cuts...
I can't say a single word nor make a single move for I was struck down by fear...

Did he try to carry a ladder with him just to kill me!?

I tried to run for the window and lock it but he had the strength to open the window before I could even make a move...

I remained on the floor silent as he tries to get into the house...

I remembered dad's gift to me from my birthday last year...

A .45 Caliber Revolver...
I hid it beneath my bed...

As I remembered it, I crawled into my bed and had a grip from the handle of the gun...

The idiot pulled my feet and he stranggled me but...

He never expected what happened next...

I pointed the gun to his shoulder and shot him at pointblank range...

His screams echoed through the whole house as I threatened him..

"Get up," I said "Get up or I'll shoot you!" I continued.

The psycho ran for his life...

Even though I fought the idiot...
I still got nightmares from him...

I can't forget his face...
