crawled into bed for the night. In fact, he discovered that he felt better if he kept his feet far away from the bed as he climbed in. On especially dangerous nights, he’d get into bed by running from across the room and just leaping to safety.

For years, the boy kept up his vigilance and managed to avoid danger. But one night, when he was just too sleepy, it got him. No one knows for sure if he slept without the covers, or if he finally looked under the bed, but when his mom went to wake him up in the morning, he was gone, just vanished. The only clue they ever found where claw marks leading under the bed, that and a single fingernail, stuck into the floor, as if he had dug his nails in, determined not to be sucked in. But he must have been, because no one ever saw him again.

Of course, parents talked. Neighbors talked. Then, the children began talking. And the fear spread. And the danger spread. And then, it spread. Every child began to feel it. And fear it. They sensed the danger.

A few brave souls, or possibly a few of the most scared souls, told their parents of the monster. They tried to expose it. But the parents never saw; they couldn’t see. And the children quickly learned, their parents could not protect them. They were on their own. You are on your own.

As more children went missing, the fear only spread. No longer did the monster live under just one bed. No longer did it live in just one neighborhood. It spanned cities, states, then countries. It made its way across rivers and oceans. Soon, all children knew the legend. Boogeyman? Shadowman? Monster? Creature? Specter? You can call it what you will. Names are just labels; they do not matter.

But you know. I know you know who I am talking about. What I am talking about.

As I did my research to learn the truth, I heard of another boy who greatly shaped the course of this legend. His name was Thomas. And he faced the monster.

His monster was born early on, and grew quickly. Thomas had always been a skittish boy, which unfortunately meant his monster was exceptionally strong. It just grew and grew and grew. And eventually, it got so big that it couldn’t fit under the bed anymore. It spilled over into the closet, into the shadows in the corner, and on stormy nights, it would creep out the window and hide amongst the tree branches. It would blink with the lightning and howl with the thunder. And then it would creep back into the room by the time morning rolled around.

Thomas knew of his monster, and its existence was of great concern to him. He was barely sleeping, trying so hard to be alert to protect himself. Possibly to even protect his family. But the more alert he was, the larger the monster seemed to be. Thomas knew something had to be done before it was too late.
