'Holy sh*t, I'm going to die' Billy thought as he saw his father passing out and the masked man materialising.
Sure, he wanted his father to die, but that didn't mean he was expecting a ghost-like man to manifest and kill his father for him.
If anything, he wanted to be the one to kill his father, but those thoughts were secondary right now; the important thing was his own life, which looked to be in danger in the presence of the masked man.
As he realised this, Billy started panting for air, having trouble not passing out from fear for his life.
But before he could piss his pants, the lights turned back on, as the masked man said.
"Calm down, kid."
