The Riddle

Chapter 1

In a quiet night when neighbours were sleeping, roads calm and empty, something terrible has happened in that night.
In one of the houses the darkness invades the hallway, there was a man on the floor covered of blood creeping on his belly trying to got out from the house when someone behind him wearing black shoes, trousers and gloves was walking slowly toward him holding axe in his hand. The man on the floor was creeping and looking to the outlet trying to scream asking for help but he can't because he was suffering and whining from pain. The man behind was walking softly toward the victim on the floor, suddenly he instilled the axe in his back cruelly and killed him..

Waking up on the scream of his mother "Adam wake up you're late, wake up!" lifting the cover on him, and she opened the window.
The bedroom is full of scattered clothes, on the chaire, on the floor, chaos everywhere
" don't be late, come on get up!" His mother said, then she tried to arrange his room
He opened his eyes slowly rubbing them with his hands "what time is it?" He said with a lazy voice
"Its 7:30 you're late!" "look at this chaos!" Said his mother Standing in the middle of the room, puting her hands on her waist
He jumped from his bed running directly to the bathroom, in that moment his father came home carrying bags of bread and milk for the breakfast he entered and closed the door.
"Murad, this boy gonna make me crazy" Adam's mother said with a low voice
"where is he?" Murad said
"In the bathroom" the mother of Adam replied taking the bags to the kitchen when Murad ( Adam's father) took off his shoes and wore slippers then followed her, Mr Murad was a quiet and serious man..
He sitted in a chaire
"I told him this is not a joke, he must be serious, no one can find a job easily nowadays!" Murad said
"I'm tired from saying that, he must give an effort but he doesn't listen to me" his mother said.
Adam came out of the bathroom he got in the kitchen wearing white shirt and black short  saying
"How the best mother ever?" And kissed his mother on her forehead, his father Murad looked at him "there's no good morning for your father? Ugly boy!" Joking with an ironic smile, Adam laughed and gave him a hug "good morning my ugly dady" laughing loudly Murad slapped him in his neck while he tried to escape "don't forget that!"
He went to his room to change his clothes and be ready to go to work
His father joined him in his room "Adam, you are the best son, you have a lot of qualities, and I'm proud of you but you have to take responsibilities, you have to be more serious and adjust your time..okey!" Murad said
"Okey dad, I will" with a smile
He left his room, wore his shoes,"I'm leaving" he said he opened the door, came out and closed the door.. he left his house hurrying to ride the bus
