Episode 1: Home Alone

"Hey Ethan, get up, We will get late."The 10 year old boy who had been ordered to wake up his little brother's aid frustrated. "Noooo! I don't want to go. Tell Mommy I am ill."screamed the 5 year old Ethan." Please Claude-nii, I am tired." Claude rolled his eyes and snatched the bedcovers. The little boy rolled into a ball and started throwing a tantrum.

"What is taking so long?" asked Mrs.Kim gently,standing by the door and sighed over the two boys. She came up to the bed and sat down,"Ethan dear, don't trouble Auntie. Think about Mommy. We all need to be there for her operation. Then we will bring home a new brother or sister."

"But, I don't want a brother or sister, I want Mommy to love me and only me" said Ethan" She loves Claude because he is smart and when he was finally going to Daddy, she got pregnant." Mrs.Kim sighed, "Claude, go get ready. Ethan, are you sure you don't want to come?"

After an hour, Mrs.Kim was ready and held Claude's hand. They moved out to the front yard where their car was parked. Inside sat Mr.Kim and his two children. "Well then, Bye little brother. I know you are interested in our little brother or sister, but you are stubborn and stupid enough not to come."

Ethan said," If it wasn't till yesterday, I would have definitely come, Claude." Claude said, "You actually believed that creepy man from yesterday. Fine then, bye."

Ethan watched as the car disappeared into the busy road. He sighed and walked back into the house and locked the door. 'You are cursed, stay away from me. You will kill everyone, not even your family shall live.' The man's voice echoed in his head. He went into his room and sat down on his study table Yam, the family dog was a Great Dane, who gently rubbed his worried master and licked him.

Ethan patted the dog and ordered,"Nanny, will come at three.Wake me up beforehand." He looked at the clock, it was 12 noon. He then decided to sleep. Yam ran out and played with his toys.

After half an hour, Yam got up and was alert after seeing a figure at the window. He growled and ran into Ethan's room.He shielded his owner and was about to bark when the figure rushed forward and tied a rope onto the dog.

"Shhh..." the figure then looked over Ethan and pulled the dog away silently. The dog struggled and resisted causing the floor to get bloodied by his broken claws.

Screech!! cried the floor as the dog was getting dragged. There was click on the door and a thud in the background. And the house fell into silence.

Silence so sweet that Ethan didn't wake up. The wind blowed and leaves on the tree rustled. There were no birds nor bugs. All seemed to sing their silent lullaby.
