The One That Got Away

A boy and his sister had to stay home alone one night. Their parents were out at a fancy party for their fatherâs job and they warned the children not to open the door for anyone under any circumstances.
The children were distracted by TV and werenât paying attention to their parentâs warning. About couple of hours later the children were both in bed asleep when they were woken up by a knock at the door.
The knock came again and they began to think it must be an emergency so the sister went to answer the door.
Her brother lay awake on his bed, listening for her to come back to her room â but he didnât hear her return. He got nervous and decided to wait for his parents to get home at the neighborâs house. He got out of bed and headed out the back door, down the side of the house and across his neighborâs lawn.
They told him they were glad to see him because they had just heard on the news that there was an escaped murderer on the lose and he was last seen just a few blocks away.
When his parentâs came home much later that night, they found his sisterâs body dead by the front door and a discarded knife on the brotherâs bed.
