Home invasion

The television was on, admittedly too loud, as two people sat reclined in their chairs watching a movie. The rest of the house was dark, the only illumination was from the television and a light burning in the vestibule. 
As they sat in the dark engrossed in the film flashing before their eyes, they were unaware that they were not alone. 

A figure had approached the back door to the house, open the door and entered the kitchen. It moved around in the dark, looking into the television lit room, then moved to the dining room looking for a weapon. 

They sat, the two, unaware they were being observed and studied, the figure looked along the counter top, searched the table and cabinets. 

Still  engrossed in the film the two did not notice the light in the other room coming on, the intruder had found a weapon, it reached out, the light behind it sending a shadow along the wall behind the television, the shadow, an arm wielding the weapon. 

The two now noticed, neither was carrying a weapon of their own, the intruders arm and the implements shadow became a sharp image, threatening them....then...

It spun the weapon revealing it's sinister shape... 

Friends, what can you do with them.

She say's it would have been a better shadow if she had found a knife.

Somehow though, I think the paint roller was more fitting...
