Samuel's Babysitter
So this is how it went down. It was about 7 o'clock in the evening, and my parents had scheduled a dinner that night at 7:30. They had called my Uncle Jeff 2 days before hand to take care of me then, even though I told them I was old enough to stay home alone a billion times.
My parents had left just then telling me that, "Your uncle will be here soon, we'll be back in an hour." So I said bye, hugged them, and did all the usual stuff that I do. I sat down on the couch waiting for my uncle to arrive.
It had been 10 minutes and my uncle had still not come to my house. I had decided I wasn't going to call my parents because I figured I was old enough to stay home alone, and that I didn't need a babysitter. So I stayed at home waiting for my uncle, (although by now I knew he wasn't coming, and I was just waiting for my parents to come home) and the garage door had opened.
I was happy that I had stayed home all by myself and that I had proved to my parents that I was old enough. I opened my garage door, and saw no cars. And the garage door was still closed, too.
But right in front of me, was an older man, drenched with blood, and he had been shot. I slammed the door, and I think I saw the man look up at me. I panicked. I didn't wanna go outside because it was dark out there and the man could get me. And I didn't wanna stay inside, cause the man could get me.
I ran for the phone, to call my parents, but the bloody man was in front of the phone. I was full of fear, and the man disappeared. I was so relieved, but I knew that the man could still be here.
The phone rang and so I picked it up quickly, knowing it was my mom or dad. But it wasn't. A man with a scratchy voice said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
I started to panic, but I guess I couldn't take the fear or something, cause the next thing I remember I was lying on my bed, with my grandpa and grandma at the end of my bed. I asked them where my mom and dad were. They told me that they had been killed at their dinner and that my uncle had also been murdered.
