All through the house by Mark Antony Raines

 All through the house


Joan was sitting in he nice suburb home,looking at the decorations on the Christmas tree and the beautifuly wrapped presents for her beloved daughter .

It is Christmas eve And Joan is getting excited at the special surprise she has organised this year for her Daughter Jessica,it is her husband dressed as Santa Claus .

On the news on the television in the background is a report of an escaped manic from the local asylum for lunatics who the report says is not too be approached due to his violent behaviour,this manic has been believed to have stolen a Santa Claus costume And maybe prowling in your neighbourhood,but Joan was too wrapped up in her own thoughts to take any notice.

The  husband is getting ready in his Santa Claus costume earlier that Christmas eve when he heard a loud noise outside the front door,he immediately ran down the stairs to see what was happening,as he opened the door he saw in front of him another man dressed in a Santa Claus costume who before he had chance to react cracked him in the head And watchs as the husband falls on the floor with thick,red crimson blood seeping from his mortal wounds.

The other Santa Claus calmly moved the dead weight of the body into a near by Bush And makes sure it's well camouflaged before going up the stairs And then going to the main bedroom waiting for the daughter to arrive back from school.

The daughter arrived via the school bus back home to mummy and daddy and enters the house full of excitement.

Her mummy Joan then told Gina to sit down and wait in the front room as she had a surprise for her.

Joan then produces  a silver bell And swings it with a heavy movement of her arms .

The other Santa Claus hears the bell And he knows it s his cue to make his grand entrance,he slowly goes down the stairs,his boots making a slight marching sound ,he lets a Ho Ho Ho.

Joan is surprised how well her husband as got into the spirit of the role And liked his disguise of his voice.

The front door opens,first comes a black boot then a other,in comes Santa Claus And immediately Joan realises it not her husband but the escaped lunatic from the asylum from the news And tried to stop Gina from running up to him but it's too late,he has her in his arms.

Joan heart beats faster then a drum,she gets up out her chair And walks towards Santa Claus And her daughter And then gives him a great big kiss as she is pleased the real father of her daughter had made home for Christmas.
