Jumping up from his chair, his right arm fully extended outward. Cupping the palm of his right hand, Timmy slowly moved out of his bedroom and into the living room. Still holding the gun toward the front door, "Tim, Tim," he heard the voice again, this time right outside his front door, causing him to point the barrel directly at the door pulling the hammer all the way back."Timmy, Tim, Timmy," he heard again as he saw the knob of the door slowly begin to turn. Hearing the person, behind it say in an evilly sadistic voice, "You're Next Timmy Richards . . . You're next,"
