Edward stood by the window looking over the town of Suburbia. He was just thinking. He was thinking about what his future would have in store for him. Would Hebert see Kim or the Boggs again? Would he ever have friends? These thoughts swarmed his head as he breathed in the crisp, cool air.
Suddenly he heard a noise come from downstairs. It sounded like snipping scissors. He peaked his head out the door to see who or what was there.
"Hello?" he called through the mansion. "Is someone here?"
He walked all through the mansion in every room.
"Hello? Kevin? Bill? Peg? Kim?" he asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
Then just as suddenly as the strange noise had started, it stopped. Edward went back to the attic and from the window, he took a good look around the garden and the mountain to see if someone was there. There was no one.
He wondered what that strange noise was, who was making it, and why they were making it. He convinced himself that it was just a figment of his imagination and went to work on an ice sculpture.
The next night, he heard the sound again, but this time it was louder.
