There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.

Max wandered around the factory. His heart was racing and was pounding. He was being hunted. He could heard the stomping of multiple sets of legs, not too awful far from him. He ran and ran. Too afraid to look back.

The monsters got everyone else, but not him. Man ran until he ran into the freezer. The floor was damp, with numerous cardboard boxes and magazines littered across it. There were several metal shelves and storage components present, mostly empty. Meat hooks and wires could be seen hanging from the ceiling, and the room was dimly lit. Max hid behind the open door. He figured if he was quick enough he could lock the monsters inside.

He could hear the footsteps and saw the monsters walk inside. All three were looking for him.

The first looked like a rat that closely resembles that of a human with both fixed ears, pointy fingernails, stitched parts, and surprisingly, sporting a long, rat tail filled with metal pieces. His face seems to sport fangs, glowing red eyes, and a big nightmarish smile.

The second sported long whiskers. His mouth was filled with razor-sharp teeth with two larger ones. His bloody-red eyes are similar to the rats, but his pupils are side-way slits like that of a stereotypical cat. His ears look similar of a real-life cat. He possesses a long, cat-like tail.

The last appeared to be the "skinniest" of the monsters. It has a very thin, black body, which resembles a human skeleton. Its limbs are made out of thick ribbons of the same material as the rest of its body, braided together, ending in points or knots. From the ends of its short arms protrude three long, spindly, pointy tentacles, each one bearing four white stripes. Its knees are set low on its body, and its feet are simply braids of material that end in a fine point. Its torso is incredibly thin in the middle, and its upper chest appears to have a rib cage on the outside. Unlike its original counterpart, it lacks the three buttons on its chest, or the striping on its legs. Its face is white, with small, black lips, and thick, black, vertical stripes, reaching from the bottom of the eyes to the top of the mouth painted on. Its mouth is open in a wide, sinister grin, revealing pointed, sharp-looking teeth, its upper jaw revealing more teeth than the lower. Its eyes are black, save for rather small, round, white pupils shining in each socket.

They monsters were looking for him. Max quickly ran behind him and slammed the door to the freezer. Locking them inside. Max took a breath of relief, until he, he heard, repeated, banging and clawing at the door. Max panicked and ran off.

Max ran to the staff only, costume room. There was a shirt rack at the back of the room, with several shirts sporting various Disney Mascots present. Along with the characters present in the room, there were also two Mascot Mickey Mouse heads on the floor, with one of these heads lacking eyes. There is also a Disneyland poster present on the floor.

He could hear the footsteps. The last monster was coming. Max looked around.

Monster: One night, on a place called treasure Island, a coward hides in fear. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. His end will soon be near.

Max looked at the door and ran to hold it shut. That was until the door flung open and knocked him to the ground. Max looked up to reveal...

*Ring*

Max woke up. Max rubbed his tired eyes. He looks at his phone. He had just gotten a text from his best friend, Tomo.

Tomo's text: Hey Max! You up? I wanna tell you something.

Max just smiled. Tomo's text just saved him from another horrible nightmare.
