Benjamin is locked in the house all by himself.

Benjamin scrambles in the kitchen looking for a knife or any weapon he can use. He tries the phone, dead… The rifles upstairs and realizes he has to get to it or he’s a dead man. He has no idea who or what is in the house so. He takes a step when ringggggggggggg, ringggggggggg, the phone is ringing…. Benjamin confused, picks up and frantically tells them he needs help, the voice says in a deep scary voice “Its time we have some fun Benjamin….” he slams the phone down.

He creeps out to the foyer and sees the masked assailant, Benjamin tries to avoid him, SLAMMM the assailant dives for Benjamin and hits his foot and he gets smashed to the floor. He scrambles up and gets behind the lounge before the masked man gets up, he’s dodging him and he finally makes a break, he sprints up the stairs straight to his Dad’s room where the rifle is and locks the door. He frantically tries to load the rifle shaking and shuttering.

He slowly unlocks the door, and it squeaks open. He slowly walks out having not the slightest idea where the assailant went. Step by step, after a long journey to the top of the stairs, he slowly makes his way down shaking all the more now.

He walks around the foyer desperately moving the gun around trying to see in the dim light. He makes his way into the kitchen. WRAHHHHH, he’s tackled from behind to the ground, the gun was thrown a few meters away, there’s a struggle, he’s a big person, Benjamin reaches from the draw with the utensils, he scuffles and manages to get a fork, he pokes the assailant in the eye and he immediately rolls off of him. He scrambles up reaching for the rifle. He puts a shot straight through his chest…

Ringggggggggggg, ringggggggggg. Benjamin picks up the phone and slowly puts it to his ear, the deep scary voice says “Benjamin, that wasn’t very nice of you” and hangs up. He scrambles for windows and doors all still locked. The phone rings, “Its time you got what you deserved Benjamin”. The house starts to shake and dust coming from the ceiling, Benjamin thinks there are no earthquakes here… He runs upstairs screaming to get out of the house, the neighbor comes running up the driveway and sees Benjamin trapped and trying to escape. The house crumbles to the ground with Benjamin in it…

To that day no-one knows what caused that tragic event to happen…
