Scary Story: "Knock Knock"
|
1 - As their mother was leaving, she told her children not to open the door under any circumstances. "If anyone knocks, don't answer it" she told them.
2 - But the boy and his sister didn't pay attention to their mother's warning. "She's just being too careful," the boy said. They both figured they could take care of themselves in any situation.
3 - About an hour after the parents left, the kids heard a "knock, knock, knock" on the front door. "Just ignore it, said the girl" to her brother, but again, they heard "knock, knock, knock". It happened again and again, and it grew louder each time.
4 - Eventually, the girl couldn't stand it anymore. "I'm going to answer it," she told him. When the boy reminded her of their mother's warning, the girl just wouldn't listen.
5 - Again, they heard the "knock, knock, knock" on the door. Finally, the sister went downstairs to the front door. Her brother lay on the sofa watching TV. He heard her asking loudly "Who is it?" He also heard the click of the lock on the front door.
6 - At that point, he heard only silence. He lay there for a while, listening for any noise, but heard nothing. Eventually, he started getting scared. His sister still hadn't returned. He was afraid to call out to his sister, so he sneaked out the back door and made his way to their neighbor's house.
7 - When he went into the house, his neighbor was watching the local news channel on TV. The news anchor on TV was talking about a recent murder. Then they showed a reporter live at the scene of the murder. "The victim has yet to be identified, and the murderer is on the loose," he heard the reporter announce.
8 - The neighbor said to the boy, "Hey, that looks like your house".
9 - The boy was shaking with fear. "That is my house" he said "and that's my front door."
