THE MONSTER
I can't sleep...the thought of the monster is keeping me awake.
My parents constantly tell me that there are no such things as monsters.
Clearly they don't know THIS one.
He comes to me late at night, hypnotizes me, consumes my mind.
I manage to fall asleep for about an hour, but then I wake to the rusting of my purple Egyptian cotton sheets and the creaking of my bed.
He's here.
I can feel my heart beating, and with each one comes the single thought,
"Why me?"
A tear slowly trickles down my cheek.
"Come on," he says,
"You're going to love this."
