Monsters in my Closet

01/12/2008

When I was little I wasn’t afraid of monsters in my closet. Then one night while I was in bed, my mom entered my room to tuck me in. She looked at my wide-open closet and said, “How can you sleep with your closet door open? Aren’t you scared there are monsters in there?” She Read More
