Hello

My name is Shelly Ann Scott and I am a sales representative for a software company. I like my job because it takes me all over the world. I am usually gone for weeks at a time. All the people I have to deal with are quite pleasant. My boss is very nice to me and has told me I have a big future with the company. I am single and have a very exciting love life! I go out almost every night dancing with my friends. We have a great time going to all the clubs. I love animals but can't have any because I'm never home. One day I want to own a monkey. I love to skate and swim or just about any type of outdoor activities. I have even bungie jumped before. As you can see I am very happy with my life but it wasn't always like that.
You see when I was about 15 something happen to me that changed my life. My dad, mom and me were coming home from the drive-in movie. When we got home we noticed that the front door of our house was already open. My dad told my mom and me to wait outside and he went into the house. He look around downstairs then he went upstairs. We then herd my dad shout "Get out of my house!" and then we heard a gunshot. My mom then ran into the house and up the stairs. I hesitated and I started to shake but followed my mom into the house. But by the time I got to the bottom of the stairs I herd another gunshot. My mom came tumbling down the stairs with blood all over her face. I started screaming looking at her I seen that she had been shot in the head. I got down on my knees and held her. A man came down the stairs. I couldn't see his face through my tears. The man said "I killed your daddy too!" Then he laughed and ran out the door.
I don't know how long I sat there holding my mom before a neighbor came and called the police. The police latter told me that it did not appear that anything was stolen. I couldn't understand why anyone would do this to my parents. They were such a happy couple and best friends. They knew each other since they were 5 and grew up together in Arizona. They had pet names for one another my dad called my mom lolly, short for lolly pop and my mom use to call my dad fuzzy even though he was bald. They couldn't keep their hands off of each other. I don't think they could have lived without one another. What type of person could go out of their way to murder such a happy couple?
At the reading of the will we found out that a silver watch was missing and we presumed it was stolen by the murder. The watch had no real value and was a family keepsake because it was my great, great grandfather's, Wilhem Scot, and had star engraved on it.
Well as you can see I went through some very rough times and it took me a long time to get over this tragedy. But I learned you must pick up the pieces and move on. That what my parents would have wanted me to do. They raised me well. So you can probably guess that my house is well secured. I really don't care if a burglar gets in though I just don't want him to leave. I went to great lengths to make sure he could not escape after he broke in. I had trap doors installed that would drop him into a deep pit built with high, smooth walls. I had it tested to make sure no one could escape. When in the pit there would be picture of my parents and a tape recording that would play this story every 15 minutes. Because like I said before I am usually gone for weeks at a time because of my job so the burglar might as well relax 'cause he's not going anywhere.
The recorder stops and a captive burglar looks at his silver watch, that has a star engraved on it, and shakes his head in disgust.
