Chapter 1.

Things get mouthy.

So I came home from school the next day to find my family gathered around the television.

 

 "Like, I know you guys adore the TV, but is it necessary to worship it, too?" I laughed.

 

 "Amy, this is serious! Our beloved neighbor has just...Well, passed on." replied Mother.

 

 "Uh, Which neighbor?" I asked.

 

 "Old man Jenkins. Butchered like an animal...Who would have the thoughts to even kill that poor old man? All alone in that house of his..." Sister #1 said.

 

Old man Jenkins, dead. I thought back to last night, when we last saw him...

 

*Bring*

The phone. I picked it up.

 

 "Did you hear, did you hear?!" Vicky gasped threw the phone.

 

 "About ol' man Jenkins, yeah! I just heard! What happened?" I asked.

 

 "They say it happened last night, from how long the body was there." Vicky replied.

 

 "Where was his body found?" I inquired.

 

 "Near the old abandoned house." Vicky said.

 

 "..." I was speechless.

 

 "What? Do you know something? If you do, you should tell the police!!" Vicky suggested.

 

 "No, no... I know nothing." I said, then hung up.

 

*Bring*

It was the phone again.

 

 "Hello?" I asked into the phone...

 

 "..HOW DARE YOU HANG UP ON THE ALMIGHTY VICKY?!?" Vicky shreiked threw the phone.

 

 "Shut the f*** up, you stupid hoe!!" I laughed into the phone, and slammed the phone down on the receiver.

 

 *Bring*

 

 "Vicky, what the hell do you want with my life?"

 

 But all I could hear was deep breathing.

 

 "If you're trying to scare me, it isn't working." I sighed, and hung up the phone again.

 

 "If anybody calls for me, I'm in the shower!" I said, and ran upstairs.
