It had been a long day for Daisy and Guest 1337. Daisy had stayed at home with Charlotte for most of the day, walking her to the park and buying her ice cream before going to a movie. It was fun, but horrendously tiring. Guest 1337 had been out for work; he had been discharged from the army after a horrific incident but instead now worked as a police officer. He had just arrived home. It was late, the manual clock on the wall’s hands pointing to around 10:45 PM. He sighed and put his coat down, sitting on the couch.

At the noise of the door opening, Daisy quietly crept into the living room. She sat next to him as Guest started to unwind from his day.

After a moment, the lights in the house went dark. There was the sound of shattering glass and a thunk, almost as if someone had crawled through a broken window and dropped something onto the floor.
