"I'll get the door." I said as I turned off the stove. When I opened the door there was no one outside. "Ugh, these kids," I said to myself, closed the door and came back.

"Hey, there is something going on. The news says-" Lila was cut off by my scream.
I looked through the peephole, what I saw was unthinkable.
