Gabriel looked as John scurried to grab the box off the ground. Elizabeth looked in horror at her husband, Gabriel, as she hears the rushed movement behind her.
"Here you go, daddy." said John in a shaken voice.
"You oughta be ashamed of yourself," said Elizabeth to Gabriel. Then, shifting her attention to her only child, "John, go upstairs to your room for me, okay honey?"
John proceeded up the stairs as if all life has been stolen from the house. There sat an awfully loud silence as both Elizabeth and Gabriel stood, staring at each other and finding something else to look at.
"I'll be going up too," stated Elizabeth, stern as she could seem.
The dark, eerie house remained silent for the rest of that night while Gabriel decided to stay downstairs and sit on the couch.
