{Man In The Window}

"I'm Bored."
Foolish was watching outside his window, he was waiting to see Sam and Ponk come back with Dream from the doctors appointment for his burns and ADHD suspection.
"Hey, guys look what I found in my dad's library!"
Foolish turned to see Wilbur running in with a slim book and Alistair just continued to play the game on the TV,"Didn't your dad and mom say not to go through their stuff?", "But this looks fun, come on!", Foolish sighed and went over to Wilbur,"What is it anyway?", Foolish frowned at the creepy title and picture on the cover.
. . .
"The Man In The Window?"
Foolish opened it and read it out loud, it was a very short story and was like a children's rhyme book.
. . .
"So I want a few seconds of my life back, Will."
"What, I thought it would be cool!"
"It's probably just an old book from your dad's-"
*Tap*
*Tap*
*Tap*
The three of them froze.
Foolish peaked out the window, and saw a monster that looked all too similar to the monster of the cover of the book.
"Will, I think you summoned that monster in the book."
. . .
"Crap."
Alistair glared at him,"Woah, good job Wilbur!", "Hey, how was I supposed to know that would happen!?", "Guys!", they turned to Foolish, who was re-reading the book as he went to the sofa,"We need to delay The Man, if we can survive 5 minutes he will leave.", so it was time to delay the man that Wilbur summoned from snooping around Philza's stuff.

So.
Foolish and Alistair blocked the doors with the couches, Wilbur laid down some traps and now they had to find a place to hide.
. . .
"I got it!"
Alistair took them to the chimney, he then climbed up the chimney with Foolish following while Wilbur hesitated but one long bang and he was yanked up by Alistair.
. . .
They heard a loud crash of the sofa being thrown.
. . .
They heard heavy but slow footsteps, Foolish was covering Wilbur's mouth so he wouldn't scream and Alistair had a source of light which was his eyes.
Then they heard the clock chim and the heavy footsteps sped up and grew quiet.
. . .

"We're home!"
Sam and Ponk entered the house, Dream barely awake as he clung to Sam's arm.
"What the-?!?"
The three boys were covered in soot and it looked like footprints were all over the house and some of the doors looked to have been broken down.
. . .
"In our defence. . . It was Wilbur's fault."
"HEY!!-"
