Hey, so I'm really looking for a beta! If you'd like to Beta for this story, message me on here or at Jump (underscore) some (underscore) Puddles at hotmail . com! I'm going to try to keep with the general plot shape they use on the t.v. show, so I might end up making a series if you guys show enough enthusiasm. I love all kinds of reviews, flamers just help me improve, but if you don't like the story, don't read it. I've got a LOT of free time, so I'll try to update frequently ^_^

The small all-American town lay in a sort of hushed waiting. The streets spic and span, with garlands and banners hanging in the air, waiting for the weekend, with all the celebrations taking place. It was the type of town where everybody knew everybody, seemingly the perfect town. Only a few of the doll-like houses had lights on at this hour, their manicured lawns reflecting the lights of a late night talk show, or the news network; the only thing that disturbed this hushed world.

In one of the few lit houses, a man lay on the couch, easily seen through the large picture window, with images of a war that seemed worlds away ghosting across his slack face, the announcers voice unintelligible over the sounds of his occasional snore.

Upstairs, if one had bothered to take a look, one would have found a woman laying asleep in the master bedroom, sprawled across the pillows. In the room next door, two boys, identical to their mother, lay in separate beds, with only a small night light illuminating their angelic faces.

A small click may have alerted this perfect family that something was amiss. But in their dream lives, it was simply the cat sneaking in from her nightly hunt, or perhaps one of the rohodendron bushes tapping the dining room windows.

A dark intruder tiptoed into their house, silently across the lush, pale carpet, unnoticed by any.

They quickly finished their work, and left as silently as they came, a silence that would only be disturbed hours later, as a perfect family, and indeed, the entire town found themselves in the middle of a horror that would shake the very foundations of their world...
