The news gave major changes to Mr. Harley and his son's life. From hair to toe, everything changed, included their eating routines.

Mr Harley was a sherif in Queen Street, since last year he got transferred.He is a fat man, with double chin, but had a tough look outside,which was helpful as the policemen respect him as the big boss, resulting his physical.Timothee was thin with curly dark hair,and his eyes were blue, deep enough as the blue ocean, genetically from Mrs Harley.

Mr Harley feared that the life he dream of, had already ended, despite all the sheriff duties he had been offered.Timothee, in other hand, had completely ignored his father, as a protested of his father's drastic changed.They never eat on the same table during the dinner time ever again.

She was pronounced dead, after had been reported missing by his own husband, Mr Harley.Not knowing the truth of his wife death, forced Mr Harley to investigate on his own, the cause of his lovely wife,shocking death.What make it even worse, he never actually believed that his wife already dead.Or he never did. Timothee, already give up,seeing his father behavior.The death of his mother put both of his life and his father into misery.In Timothee sight, his father was never his father again, after the tragedy of his mother's death occured. He become quite, over the time, as his life tearing him apart.In fact, he never talked to anyone since he last move to Queen Street,which was 2 month ago.Except his cousin, Ethan Harrison.

The story began when,it was Saturday on 8 July,where the cloud was shady, and there were nothing bizarre showing a sign of bad or good thing will happen.

Timothee just woke up on his often dull day, while Mr Harley was already gone in his sheriff office.He picked up his grey white towel,not remembering he will be 16 in few days.Then, he twisted the pipe on his white yellowish sink,ready to get his not-so-morning shower.

He didn't notice his hawk-eyed glowed in yellow gold shine. Although even he did, he thought it just a normal eyes behavior in the morning.

As it was past noon,Timothee went downstairs, ready for the most boring breakfast,his homemade egg sandwiches.He turn on his earpode, and sang the sarcastic lyric happily, before he went off to his bike,backed off his house yard.

Timothee picked the same route as he did yesterday.He went for a ride, ready to call his cousin, for their most exciting game-Monopoly, although the game required 4 person for a start, but they both enjoying being boring all the time. Or in fact, Timothee the only one who enjoyed it.(as Ethan always complained it everytimes they finish playing).

It was at the corner of the roadside, where he saw a black person, standing still, in black robes, with his hand clinched behind, stared at him in terrifying looked. Timothee looked back at him in instant, but the black man's gazed doesn't move an inch. In fact, the stared become more eager. Timothee blood turned cold, shuddered. He gulped before he pretended to rode his bike as nothing weird happened.

The thought of it, keep lingering inside him. The man acted was peculiar. He never once saw the man's face over the 2 years he have been moving in here. But then, he throws away the wild thought and rode off to the Ethan's house.

"Hello", Timothee knocked Ethan's main door. "Weird", he told himself. Usually there will be a noise of Mrs Harrison gossiping, followed by the loud laugh of her neighborhoods, guffawed at their joke that sometimes Timothee found it disturbing.But now, he could hear nothing, not even Ethan's dog barking at him whenever he came to the yard.
