Monsters in My Closet

By Chihiro

Prologue:

There was a picture of a train on his wall. He liked trains, most boys his age did. There was a single bed pushed up close to the wall on one side of the small room, on the other a walk in closet dominated most of the wall. It's polished brace doorknob glimmered in the dark. Toys lay absent-mindedly strewn about the floor abandoned earlier for sleep and a lone teddy bear crowned the bed. The room would normally have been powder blue but was now shrouded in darkness.

The moonless night left everything to the imagination. Outside the window the wind rustled the trees stripping them of their already dead foliage and casting the dead leaves to the wind. A thoughtless sacrifice to a turbulent god. Inside the ordinary room a figure shifted in the single bed pulling his covers closer to his face. You could hear him shiver; the room was icy cold. The little boy reached for his bear, he knew George would protect him in case they came again. His hand froze halfway to the bear and the little boy sucked in a breath.

The closet.

Them.

The shinny brace doorknob began to move every so slightly, it's glimmering surface was reflected in the boy's eye. Slowly the knob turned until the familiar "click" was heard. The closet door screamed in protest as it was pushed lightly open, moving across the plush carpet of the bedroom floor. When it reached halfway the boy 's eyes grew wide in horror like two gleaming red O's in the dark and forgetting the bear he quickly pulled his covers over his head, cowering in his cocoon.

The wind whispered through the trees and shook the shutters. Thump, thump, thump. The boy squeezed his eyes shut praying this torment world stop. The door, now fully open seemed like a black abysses or the gates to hell yawning before it's victim. Demons once from this world, their eyes glowing, stood in the pool of darkness and waited for their messenger. The wind shrieked through the dead branches of the skeletal trees, the boy clutched his sheets and the teddy bear rolled off the bed.
