The Kid Next Door.
Long ago, I used to live in a busy town,
One with both joy and sadness,
Something very rarely found.
Next to my old home,
Was a mansion,
Long abandoned.

Yet, each night,
Despite it being empty,
I could a child crying from the inside.
It bothered me so much,
I finally decided to go see.
Only to find,
No one inside.

Glass had been shattered,
Blood had been scattered.
Clearly showing,
A murder once happened.
Curiosity got the better of me,
Forcing me to explore this old home.
Which of course,
I knew it was wrong.

When I came across a small room,
I could hear crying on the other side of the door.
Taking a deep breath,
I pushed the door open.
To my horror,
A kid was sat there covered in blood.

"Hello," I nervously said, "Are you ok, little one?",
After I asked this, the kid shook their head.
"No," The kid said, before looking at me,
"I accidentally made mummy and daddy sleep forever."
