Tom opened the door to a potential lodger who’d come to view his spare room, he looked ordinary enough. Having discussed rent and housekeeping the lodger asked about parking despite the advert stating none was available. With this confirmed the man changed suddenly and pounced violently, his hands clamped hard around Tom’s neck, throttling him then tossing him aside broken and helpless. From the floor Tom’s head lolled sideways, his eyes resting on his 5 year old daughter who had crept downstairs and was watching, terrified and screaming as he breathed his last breath and the man lunged towards her.
