During the night of December 24th, 1982 in North Carolina, Jack Wilson, a 16-year old boy, went to the International Gaming Tournament, where he won first place. He felt so proud. He wanted to call his parents who were gone to Hawaii for three weeks to share his happiness. When he arrived at his house he made some hot chocolate and gathered by the cozy fire, looking at his only Christmas present. Though it was small, it was special as it was from his parents. Since Jack was by himself, he started to watch T.V. On the TV, there were news reporters explaining a recent robbery in an empty house. Jack didn’t want to frighten himself as he too was home alone so he turned the TV off. Yawning, jack decided it was time to sleep, he needed a good sleep …show more content…
Jack’s eyes opened. He went downstairs and realized it was a man in black. It was a thief. “AHHHHHHH!”, Jack screamed, blowing his cover, and now sprinting upstairs, while the thief pulled out his pistol, and ran after Jack.

Jack checked his pulse and felt nothing. He was dead. “Oh my god! What do I do now!?”, Jack frighteningly questioned. He tried to calm himself to think properly. He looked around the bloody room, and he found the thrives ID in his wallet. His name was “Brycen Howard.” Who it this?”, Jack questioned again. Jack wanted to call the police to report the crime.

He felt isolated and confined as he couldn’t talk to anybody freely. He was still too afraid to contact the police. Jack really wanted his dad to be with him. One day, like usual, Jack came home and made food while the thought of the dead body haunted him. When all of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Jack thought it was one of his friends, but his mind was cautious. Jack slowly opened the door. The police arrived! “Hello. Are your parents home?”, the officer said. Jack shook his head. “There is a robber in town and we haven’t seen him for days. From the security cameras, we can see that the man came into this house. Is he inside?”, he asked again. “No. He isn’t here. Maybe you have the wrong house”, Jack said as sweat was racing through his skin like a wave in the
