Bedtime Stories
Matthew Manson loved bedtime stories.
Ever since Matthew was a little boy, he couldn't wait until the streets cleared and the sky darkened to dark hues of indigo. Those were his favorite moments because it meant bedtime. Of the children his age, he was the odd one. When children didn't want to go to sleep, Matthew did. But before he ventured off to sleep he had to hear one of his mom's stories. They were so captivating and alluring. She painted pictures in his mind and lured him to sleep with dreams and fantasies alike.
He laughed at stories like the time his grandma would try to get his mom to wear a frilly pink and yellow dress. Sometimes he gasped in sheer horror, as he listen keenly as she was possessed and controlled to take over Amity Park and eventually the world as marionette in second command to an overgrown weed. The stories he loved best were the ones were his mom was the sidekick to the superhero Danny Phantom! No matter how grim the situations were for the super-ghost-hero, he always managed to pull through and save the town. And those were the stories he liked best.
