The Monster In the Closet

Lights turn off and a small child whimpers in fear afraid of the monster in his closet or the eyes under his bed. He cries silently, attempting bravery for the first time or he wails, cowardly never trying something new and courageous. His mother comes to aid him and make sure he's alright but i know deep inside her she's a little afraid of the dark at night. The unknown of a robber in the closet the killer under the bed each thought terrifies her spins in terror in her head. But other fears take priority: the unpaid bills, the unfolded laundry the dinner to be made and the thought of her little boy in danger, is the thought that makes her the most afraid.
