You were doing good up until "-Serial killer approaches "

Josh dropped his walkie talkie at the fence while running away, AFTER the whole confrontation with the man. When Josh dropped his walkie talkie, he wasn't even in the house anymore, never mind the bedroom.

The boys run back home to Joshs' house, but cant sleep.

When the sleep over ends and the author goes home later that day, he says he threw all his stuff on the floor because he was exhausted and just wanted to sleep.

That's when he heard meowing, and he started to follow the noise to underneath his bed. He heard the meows coming from under a shirt, so he flung it thinking he would see Boxes, but only to see the walkie talkie there, and that the meows are actually coming from the walkie talkie.

Mentioned before, when he got home he just threw all his stuff on the floor, causing everything to scatter around, and the walkie and shirt ended up underneath his bead.

Back at the old house, the man found the walkie talkie some time after the boys ran away. The man probably knew it was Joshs' walkie, and that the other boy would still have his.

I agree that Boxes ran away to the old house. The man lured him under the crawlspace with food (really didn't take much luring since we are told that Boxes would always run underneath the crawl space when the author and his mom still lived in that house). The man was able to catch Boxes while he was eating, and got Boxes to meow into the walkie talkie.

Boxes probably did NOT die a peaceful death like you think. The evidence? In "Boxes" when the author goes under the crawl space to look for his cat, he see that there are plenty of dead animals. "Animals. Dozens of them. All of them dead. They lay in piles all around the perimeter of the crawlspace." And since it was mentioned in the story how the man lived in that crawlspace at some point, it is safe to say he murdered all those animals. It's textbook stuff - Psychopaths murdering and hurting innocent animals because they get pleasure out of it.... after all, you are calling him a serial killer. Oh by the way, To be classified as a serial killer, that person has to kill 3 or more people. Since we only know that the man killed Josh, he is more of a Pedophile Psychopath murder.

So really, it's not a matter of having dark mind, it's how good you are at paying attention to the details and facts. Since your speculations are obviously confused and skewed, I guess I'm the one who is "morally superior". Shame on you.
