One time, a little boy was trying to sleep, like any other night. Suddenly, he hears footsteps outside his door, which was not completely closed, so he was able to see outside. When he peeked out of his bedroom to see what was outside, he was horrified to see a tall man, carrying his parents' corpses. The man dropped the corpses on the floor, opened the father's chest with a knife and touched the father's blood, to then write something in the wall with it.
When the kid saw that, he was mortified and, even more to see with one eye that he didn't have completely closed, that the tall man went inside his room and hid under the boy's bed.

When the boy tried to read what the man wrote on the wall, after struggling a bit, because it was too far away, he finally was able to read it...
The writing on the wall said:

"I know you are not asleep."

The boy then feels how the tall man stood up besides his bed and stabbed him in the chest.
