One time there was a family who lived in a small town, they were the Alan's. The family had a completely normal life, except for the fact that they'd lose things a lot. For instance, tupperware, utensils, and food would go missing from the kitchen, and small items like clothes, shoes, and books from the living room and bedroom. On one Tuesday afternoon the son, Kyle Alan, noticed that the attic door had been left open. Though no one ever goes in there. Suspicious, Kyle went to get his father and his father called the police. When they arrived, they went up into the attic and the family heard crashing and thudding, then saw the officer start going down the ladder holding a scraggly man in his hands. The family looked horrified, not knowing who that was or how he got there. Later that day, the family found out that the man had been living in their attic and stealing their belongings but had gotten sick of simply living by stealing. He was waiting up in the attic with a knife, preparing to murder the family and live in the house.
