The Year is 2000, the Millennium.
After arriving home from school, he took a drink up to his bedroom as he usually did, where he would endeavor to finish his homework before the evening meal. However, this afternoon, his usual after school tranquility was interrupted by loud screams and shouting from somewhere downstairs in the house. He was concerned enough to get up from his studies and go to investigate what was going on. As he got to the bottom step he realized that the screams were coming from the cellar.
Looking down from the top of the stairs that lead down to the cellar, he couldn’t believe what was happening in front of his eyes, the terrible scene he was witnessing, he was unable to force himself to watch anymore…all the blood and the screaming was too much to bear. He had unwittingly put both hands over his mouth to restrain himself from screaming out aloud.
He knew he would be next if he was caught, but the doors to the outside had been locked and the keys removed, he couldn’t get out so he had to hide. He went as quietly as he could back up the stairs and higher, up to the attic, then he locked himself in and removed the key. Holding onto it so tightly that he drew blood from his palm, while he hid behind the toy chest, shaking wildly but trying to control his tears and his breathing so as not to be heard.
The screams from downstairs turned to deathly silence, and he knew that the knife wielding monster in the mask would be looking for him next.
