HUNDREDS #6/100: "Alone At Home"




The thieves crunch through suburban backyard snow. 

“This is it, Marvin,” Harrison grins. “The one I told you about.” 


A porch light blazes on, glinting off Harrison’s silver tooth. 


“Someone’s home!” Marvin hisses. 


“Wait…” Harrison pats the air. “It’s just a kid. And he’s… alone at home.”


“Oh no!” A small voice calls from inside. “I’m very scared!”


Harrison and Marvin smirk, shoulder the door. Inside, a rush of movement, then… darkness. 


Upon waking, they see them… chained, caged, trapped. Skeletons, bodies, and terrified faces of other would-be robbers who had come before.


The kid growls. “This is my house.”
