    The ominous click of the door sealing shut was always the beginning. And Peyton hates it. This is when the monster comes Every night.   First, that creepy loud click; then the dark inky shadows creep closer and closer to his bed.  He jerked his soft blue flannel blanket over his head and squeezes his eyes tightly shut. ‘You are brave, Peyton. You are a big boy. There isn’t a big scary green monster with ugly spiky black hair and glowing yellow eyes under the bed.

The ground began to fade and grew lines until it looked like chapped lips. The little bugs with their bell-like ringing began to die out from thirst.
