After eating a large bowl of lucky charms, I walk back to my room. As I lay down on my bed, I hear a noise coming from my closet. My first reaction is to run out of my room, but instead I creep over toward my closet to investigate. I see a tall dark figure wearing a ski mask. The figure jumps out at me.

Its 3:34pm I say to myself I have to figure out who killed my mom and where my dad went. I am living with my grandma now because I have no one else to live
