Never Say Boogeyman

"Don’t fuss anymore, just sleep tight Boogeyman will hear and lug you away stuffed in his hideous,grey, musty sac", she warned her little boy every night. Boogeyman “Cancer” made no sound just crept in silently as she slept into her child’s room and blood stole him from Earth’s playground. Don’t ever please say Boogeyman she lifelong urged all moms what you say may come alive ‘coz Gods hear only when they can! Written on 05/24/2016 for Nayda's contest "Boogeyman"
