Kathy's parents were going out that night to a "grown-up party". Kathy was 6 and her older brother Nathen would be watching them, he was 9. Kathy also had a younger brother, Jonathan or Jonathan's nickname was Jon, he was 4. Their parents were leaving. Kathy has brown hair, and blue eyes, she was in 1st grade. Nathen was in 5th grade and he had reddish brown hair and brown eyes. Jon had brown hair and hazel eyes he wasn't in school yet. Because they were kids they always wanted to play games and they always made their own games. The children were friends and they rarely argued. Kathy wanted to play catch but with something other than a normal ball, she spotted a lightbulb. Nathen told Kathy that if they played catch with a lightbulb could be dangerous but it was two against one and so they formed a triangle and started tossing it around. Nathen tossed the lightbulb to Jon when Jon caught it, it flickered on and off, they thought it was nothing. Jon tossed the lightbulb to Kathy, when Kathy had the light bulb it flickered on and off again. Kathy tossed the lightbulb to Nathen and the lightbulb flickered on but then shot out of his hands and floated in the air. It fell and broke, glass was all over the place Nathen got a small cut by a glass shard that flew off. Nathen told Kathy and Jon to go into the living room so he could clean the mess up. In the living room, Kathy and Jon started watching tv and Kathy put on a movie and sat down next to Jon. Five minutes into the movie the tv screen went blank so Kathy went to check out what happened. A giant claw with three pointy metal knives for fingers and a cable as an arm grabbed Kathy's throat and then squeezed it and cut her neck. When Kathy fell, Jon was frozen and the claw shot towards him and dug into his chest it pulled his small heart out and dropped it then the claw disappeared. When Nathen was done cleaning he went to see what all the racket was in the living room he was shocked he didn't know what to do so he screamed like any normal human and he cried. Nathen was on the floor holding Jon's dead body, he heard a noise behind him, he turned around and stared into the open faced claw. Nathen ran, he ran to the only door he knew locked his parent room and their bathroom. Nathen hid in the tub of his parent's bathroom behind the decorative curtain. There was a loud clunking noise then he heard a small noise that sounded like it came from behind the door to the bathroom. Nathen started to cry but then he made himself stop because he knew that if the claw didn't hear him there was still a little hope that he could make it out alive. Nathen sees the curtains pull back a little bit then the curtain flew open and the claw grabbed his face and dug into his skin and twisted it around till Nathen died right there. Nathen's dead body now in a bathtub of his own blood.

The children's parents come home. They go to check on the kids. They first see Kathy and then Jon lying dead on the floor. The father gets the phone and calls 911. The mother grieves and cries over her lost children. Then they realize that the killer might still be in the house so the father got his shotgun and went to check every room. The father checked every room except his and his wife's room. He cocked the gun and tried the handle. It was locked, the father shot the lock off and cocked his gun again and looked into an empty room. The mother was still looking for her last child to see if maybe he had survived. The father called the mother over and they both looked in their own room. The mother saw the bathroom door closed so she told the father to check the bathroom. The light was still on and light shone under the door. The father slowly crept up to the door trying not to make a sound. The father swiftly opened the door and pointed the gun at nothing. He saw the curtain pulled, he went to move the curtain over with the tip of his gun and he looked in the tub. The father dropped his gun and got out of the bathroom. The mother went in to see what had happened and saw her first born child with his face twisted and his body lying in his own blood. The mother runs out covering her face and cries again. The father wondered who would do such a terrible disgusting thing to a child, and also where were the police he called them 30 minutes ago and they still have not come. He decided to try and call them again. He calls but nobody picks up, in fact, there was no sound at all. The father checks to see if the cord was still attached but it was cut off. The mother and the father both sit down on the side of their bed and the mother cries on the father's shoulder. Then they hear a very loud sound like the sound of metal twisting coming from right behind them the mother turns around to see a claw. The claw shoots towards the mother's face and pokes her eyes then takes her eyeballs out and flicks them away and then digs into the mother's stomach and scratches it. What the father didn't know was the mother was pregnant. Then the claw looked at the father and then left him with the guilt of possibly murdering his family and guilt of leaving his kids when he should have been there and with having nobody for the rest of his life. The father quickly decides that he can't live without the love of his life or his kids so he takes his gun still with 1 bullet left and points it at his head. He pulls the trigger and dies. When the police get there because the neighbors heard a gunshot, they just put murder-suicide in the file and it wasn't opened again.
