The other night I had a dream about death, lies and deception. There was a white room in an immaculate house. Along the main wall in the living room were 4 distinct cut outs that looked like big ticks. But theses cut outs had been created by bullets. Perfectly formed. The cut outs were a result of murders. Each of the four daughters in the house had been killed. The four girls had heard gunfire outside and instinctively worried that they were going to be shot. The girls had been running through the house to reach safety when  the person who was shooting could see them running and with precise shots killed each girl as they were running. Where the bullets had penetrated the wall they had created a perfectly formed tick √. The four ticks were spaced evenly apart. On the surface the parents appeared to be in grieving. But strange things such as the father frequently visiting a secret room beneath the house which backed onto a lake, began to be viewed with suspicion. The mother became increasinly distressed. She was wavering in her ability to keep the secret. Despite the girls being dead, at some point they came back to the house to see their parents. The way their father was acting they began to think he was hiding something from them. They tried to coax their mother to come with them. She had to make an excuse to leave with the girls, and even though the father was suspicous he allowed his wife to leave with girls. He followed them part of the way. When they stopped at a building along the way to rest, the father found them. Thankfully the people who lived in the building sensed they mother and the girls were trying to escape the father. Everyone managed to bluff him and the people helped the girls and their mother escape.
