Closet Monster

Chapter 1

Darkness.

It was all that surrounded him. He was trapped in a decent sized wooden cube made for years on years. Closet. It was a closet. This closet of a beaten down, old, small apartment in the shadiest and most unsafe part of the city was his home. He kept the closet door ajar oh so slightly so a small portion of light could come in the endless pit hole of darkness he was trapped in. From there he could see the empty room the closet was in. This is just what his vision and life was limited to. Well..unless a new tenant decided to move in. Till then this closet was all he had, to be in , to call his home, for how long no one knows.

He, Jungkook, was a closet monster.

A demon that lived in your closet. A closet monster is what kids, even from every generation was scared off. If you have a closet in your home, you cannot help but sometime feel like there is a monster inside that would come alone at night and kill you in the most painful way. Sometimes it might be you being paranoid and sometimes there might actually closet monsters inside your own closet and waiting for a time to attack while you sleep unsuspecting of anything. Most parents and older people try to convince kids that closet monsters are far from reality and the noise they hear at night from inside their closet are nothing but noise created by rats. But little do they know that closet monsters are very real, very hungry and very greedy. They might even replace your child whom you convinced monsters don't exist and you won't even know. Do you want to know what they do to your actual kid? Oh...you better not know. They might even scar and traumatize a full grown adult for the rest of their life.

Even though closet monsters are a common fear a lot people, especially children have, they are actually the lowest level of demons. They are stuffed in an enclosed, uncomfortable space, their freedom depends on people's belief and fear. They cannot do anything freely. Their closet is their only playground.

Jungkook wasn't always like this. He was stripped down from his previous position, away from hell and sent into this closet in the earth and among the humans 'he loves so much'. Since then he has been living here as a closet monster, scaring every tenant of the apartment just to gain a little bit power, to get out of this torture that seemingly is going forever.

Not all closet monsters are bad though, he isn't. At least he believes so. He isn't as extreme as the other ones. He has never gone overboard while scaring humans that lived here. At least he thinks so. But still the rumor of this house being haunted, spread like wildfire and it's been almost a year since the last tenant moved out. Still no other tenant. A lot of people come to see the place to potentially rent it, but they get creeps when they see the closet he lives in. They end up not moving in.

Jungkook is now desperate. He hasn't been out of this closet for a whole year. Everyday he hopes that someone would start living here. He wants to be out of this cube. He wants to see the outside world. He would do anything for it this time. If he needs to scare the living shit out of the new tenant and scar them for their whole damn life, he would do so. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Just before Jungkook was about to lose all hope, one morning he heard the sound of the front door opening. He soon heard the old, sleazy voice of the building owner. The sly, short balding man in his forties only uses this voice when he is showing new possible tenants this house. Just to finesse his way into signing the lease. The moment they start living there, his real face starts showing. He doesn't care about how damaged the house is, doesn't care how awful the living condition is, he wouldn't do anything to fix any of the tenant's problem. When they try to talk to him about the problems and inconveniences he is completely a different person.

Humans are so hypocritical sometimes!

Jungkook was again starting to hope that whoever the person is, they start living here. Please. He might go insane if they don't.
