Stand Out From Underneath It All

There once was a small town named Melannen. This town was so small that everyone knew everyone else. Chris was the butcher, Mary was the baker, and Joe was the candle stick maker. Then there was John, he owned a clock shop. John lived right over the clock shop. Every morning John would get up at 5am. He would take a jog, have some breakfast, shower, and go to the shop. One day a new family moved into the neighborhood, the Smith family. No one knew them, so of course they tried to make them feel at home. Chris brought the Smith family a huge dinner from the butcher’s shop. Mary baked them a wonderful pie to eat for dessert, and Joe brought them infinite amount of candles incase the lights were to go out during a storm. John on the other hand, did not bring the Smith family anything. He tried to be nice, but he felt something was strange about them. The Smith family was up to something and John was determined to find out what it was.

One night, John decided to take a walk to the Smith house to see what was up. When he got there, no one was home. John thought it was a little strange considering it was 10pm on a Sunday night. John decided to go home because no one was there. He washed up, and went to bed. Seconds, minutes, and hours passed in the night. John seemed to wake up several times. He felt as though something was peculiar.

“KOO KOO! KOO KOO! KOO KOO!” The sound came from every direction. John jumped up and ran downstairs. The Smith family was planning to break into John’s shop and steal his money all along. With a call to the cops, the Smith family was taken to the station and the shop was saved.
