So, I found a lot of problems with this story when applied to real life. Here's what popped up on my Implausidar.

1.
 * over the phone*

Mitch: "Hey, Edwin, I know we haven't seen each other in ten years, but mind if move in with you?"

Edwin: "Wha..."

Mitch: "I knew you'd be excited! I'm already packed!"

2. Mitch thinks he hears a window opening in the house and sounds like something entering and only looks around his room. Doesn't grab the gun or nine iron and actually check the house?

3. Naturally, Mitch does the sensible thing the next morning and sees a doctor about his weird overnight laceration. Naturally, the doctor tells him, "Your left kidney's gone. Here's some Ibuprofen." The doctor also flexes his basketball school thinkin' muscles when he can't see that it was clearly stolen.

4. If I see something in a hoodie and a mask standing over me in my home in the middle of the night, no matter how dark his eyes seem, I will think, "Here's a home invader, clearly a scumbag in a hooded sweatshirt and a Halloween mask." When Mitch sees something in a hoodie and a mask standing over him in his home in the middle of the night, he thinks, "Ahh! Scary eyeless thing!" Is the CIA dusting the air again? Bonus points for taking a picture instead of grabbing the nine iron.

5. Super bonus points for leaving his brother alone with a dangerous crimina...er...creature. Also, great bedside manner, doctor. "Your brother has been killed by some...thing, kid. Here's a peppermint."

6. So, Edwin is still in the house when Mitch is getting his stuff? Nobody from the police questions him, is mentioned, or comes to take the body? Did they just tell the doctor and not call the police? Did the coroner take a rain check? Did the doctor just happen to be by the house and see Edwin in a pool of blood and Mitch probably in a pool of pee and that's why he knows? Is anybody ever going to collect Edwin's rotting body from his looted house, or is he going to stay there until he is inevtiably eaten by the homeless?
