After plotting for a few weeks, the man devises a way
to lure the boy close enough for the man to grab him and
drag him away without his parents seeing. Hoping that the
aliens didn't have any telepathic powers, he hit the boy
in the head with a bat a few times and then threw him in
a closet, locking him in. The boy never regained consciousness
though and died in the closet that night. After a few days
the man finally opened it up to see what had happened. Due
to his insanity, he thought that the boy was simply staying
quiet in there as a trick, or had turned invisible and somehow
walked through the door and away to freedom. Upon finding
the dead body, the man decided that perhaps dragging it
into town would not be a good idea. Instead, he ate some
of the boys leg and buried the rest of the body in the backyard.
That night, the ghost of the alien boy comes back and begins
to haunt the old man. Screaming away for hours at night,
the man's health quickly deteriorates. Days without sleep
go by and eventually the man is so fed up that he stuffs
his head in his toaster oven and dies slowly in it's heat.
When the alien father comes around to ask for help looking
for his son, he finds the mans body and buries it in the
backyard. Unbeknownst to the father, his son is right below
his feet. |
