A young boy is sleeping in his bed on a usual night. He hears footsteps outside his door and the young boy peeks out of his eyes to see what is happening. His door swings open to reveal a murderer carrying to corpses of his parents. After propping them on a chair, he writes something on the wall with the blood of the bodies. He then hides under the child's bed.

The child is scared beyond belief. He can't read the writing on the wall and he knows the man is under his bed. Like any other child, he pretends to sleep through the whole thing and hasn't woken up yet. He lays as still as the bodies, quietly hearing the breaths from underneath the bed.

An hour passes and his eyes are adjusting more and more to the darkness. He tries to make out the words, but it's a struggle. He gasps when he finally makes out the sentence.

"I KNOW YOU ARE AWAKE"

He feels something shift from underneath his bed.
