Them

"No! Please, don't! I'll do anything!" Silence struck. The door slammed shut after they rushed out of the garage. I tried to make sure he was long gone when I got out of the cupboard very quietly. So even if he was just outside the door, he wouldn't here me at all. Once I got out of the uncomfortable hiding spot, l stopped and just stood there. "Are you okay?" I whispered to him. l had no idea wat just happened. When he didn't respond, l knew something was up. I couldn't see anything that just happened in my hiding spot. After standing there for about two minutes, staring at him, I got the nerve to tip-toe over to him and soon enough, l realised he wasn't going to get up. I was only nine years old back then. We lived in the safest neighborhood in Columbus, Montana. And who would of thought that would happen to us? It was so crazy... it still is. I still remember what the killer looked like. He was about 5 feet tall, what looked like black hair in the terrible lighting, And he was kinda' fat for his age. He was 13 years old and weighed about 250 pounds! What happened was me and Stephen were trying to spend some quality brother-sister time building a bird house. Idecided to do a little investigating after l was done mourning. What the police figured out since then was that the murderer was Danny Vebotti and he was meeting Stephen for drama club! But of course, I always do my own investigating, and what l figured out... was nothing. I still remember vividly that someone tried to kil ME a week after Stephen's death. The person who tried to kill me, l rely on my memory, was using an already bloody hunting knife. l just knew it was Stephen's. This time, unlike Stephen's death, the murderer was dressed all in black with a ski mask. Also unlike Stephen's death, the killer did not strike in a private place. But in the little grocery store just on the outside of town. Alot of people witnessed the attempted murder. Or, at least what l think is a lot of people. With my kung fu actions l took that guy down within two minutes. Fine five minutes. Okay now l'll tell the truth: it took aproximately nine minutes. This guy was not the killer from the scene l witnessed. This guy was about 135 pounds, and l would guess he was about 17 years old. Of course l couldn't identify anything else because of the ski mask and all of his dark clothing. Since 12 years ago l have been able to figure out much, much more. Like who the murderer of Stephen was and who attempted to murder me. But of course you nee to figure that out. Fine, l'll tell you. Just not right now. Okay, those people got put in prison and l am sooooooooooo happy 'cause l wanted them to pay. They deserved everything they got. One of them, after spending 10 years in prison, got a death penalty. When we were building the bird house, l dreaded it the whole time 'cause we weren't really doing it for bonding. l just did it 'cause l was in the most unpopular hobby in the fifth grade: girl scouts. I had to earn some lame badge in order to advance to the next level. Somethin' to do with outdoorsieness. Just like building a bird house. l really enjoyed the whole girl scouts thing. I just lied 'cause it was sooooo lame. According to all the "cool" people at school. Anyway.... This evil person who TRIED to kill me knew I was in girl scouts. I didn't tell ANYBODY except for Stephen because I needed a ride to the building The lame group was in. You probably think you know who it is now. But I bet you're wrong! The police happened to be right. Danny Vebotti murdered Stephen. But thats not all that happened. The murderers got put in prison so now I'm happy. I'm so happy, 'cause l know you probably won't guess who it is! Okay. I'm just gonna' tell you who it is. Stephen payed Danny to "fake" murder him and Stephen tried to kill ME and then he commited suicide. THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats it. Thats who did it.

Okay, fine. That's not THE END!!!!!!!!!!!! Its all a lie! I feel so guilty!!! I did it! I killed Danny and Stephen!! I only did it because they were about to spill my secet! I... Am... Homeless!!!!! Stephen wouldn't let me live with him 'cause l killed mom and dad!! It all seems so dramatic, but actually... I'm laughing so hard! I'm actually very evil. You probably yhought l was so innocent sounding. But computers don't have emmotions. Everyone deserved what they got. Even me. I should be in prison by now. But l had access to all the files and everything for some reason. I changed everything. I was actually 19 years old at the time. Stephen was 27. Thats it. Thats the truth. Good bye. You will probably never hear or see my again. I killed four people and l will probably get a death penalty. I deserve it. -- Them--
