Description
The steady creak of floorboards under socked feet.Small hands gripping the worn fur of an old friend.
A long hallway that seemed never ending.
A single door, something passed by every day.
Hesitation.
What will it be this time?
The monster.
Growls seep from under the door.
Hesitation.
Small hand, trembling fingers, sweaty palm pressed against that door.
Mommy always said to be brave.
Hesitation.
That door gets pushed open with a quiet squeak.
Stop!
Wait.
Were you seen?
No.
Start again.
Look through the crack.
A mass of shadows contorts and writhes.
Getting bigger and smaller in a second.
The shadow lets out a roar and another bottle is brought to its lips.
Its glowing mouth illuminates the room with sound.
A bed. Pillows. A heavy comforter.
A body.
The bottle is lifted again before being thrown across the room.
It is angry again.
That door closes.
Socked feet walk away, eyes damp.
Maybe tomorrow.
Maybe tomorrow it will be gone.
Maybe tomorrow Daddy will come back.
