FROM THE AUTHOR:

"So I made 34th in the "Halloween Skin Contest". Thought I had a better shot, but even so glad to see that I placed. Um so thanks to all who gave me a shot to contend in the contest and thanks to all fans! I am happy to see who made 1st, but the 2nd and 3rd I don't agree with as much (think there were better options). Thanks again to everyone! Love you all! :)"

STORY:

The darkest silence. The lone child sit's in his bed, alone and scared he waits for the day to rise. The child stares at the outside window which sat by his side near thee bed. He's already heard his bedtime story now it was time for him to close his eyes.

Though the boy was tired and alone he didn't know what the darkness of his room had to hold for him. So as he sat in the silence he felt that a small creature in the night was watching though little did he know that, that creature was the night....

As the boy looked around he couldn't anything, but he still felt that there was a thing, a creature in this room that he sat in alone and dark. As the boy became frightened he hide his head under the covers which surrounded his eyes with darkness, but the boy had worse problems as that now the little child heard sounds. The sounds weren't normal though they had the sound of a dying cat. The sound pierced the kids very soul, he began to question if anybody could hear it, was he really alone he thought. The kid new something was here now, he took his head out from the covers that protected him. At that moment he saw a quick glance of white eyes that stared from the windows reflection as he turned around to see it there was nothing and the monster at the windows reflection was gone. The kid looked around only to here this quick sound of feet crawling beneath him. The kid turned over his bed side and brought his head down towards the floor to look under. As he then finally crept to the floors length, he looked down and saw....

Nothing, nothing was there just floor and as the kids ideas faded away from his thought he went back up to the bed to go back to sleep. As he went back up something grabbed his arm and a short tug proceeded. The kid was about to scream until the thing came up from the end of the bed towering over the little kid. the kid was in to much shock. He could only make out a small word, "help" and at that last word the kid was dragged under and completely gone. Nobody truly knows what happened and nobody has lived to tell the tale.

So next time you feel that somethings watching you, don't look under your bed because it might just be...
"The thing under your bed..."
