"Mike, where have you been all day?" Mike's mother said when he got home. "I-I was with the boys" he said. "And where?" she asked. "At the playground, not far from Ben's house "the replied. "Okay. And did you finish your homework?" "No mum... But I'll do them right away." he replied and ran to his room.
In the meantime, he had done his homework, he drew That thing with the tree on one of the papers. When he had almost finished painting the figure, the door to the closet behind him slowly opened. As soon as he heard the creak, he immediately turned around and stared at the door. Then he stood up and walked over to it...
When he came to them, he stared at them for a moment and suddenly opened them wide. Nothing, just his clothes. So he closed them again and went back to the teble. He paused. That thing in the picture was gone. Only the tree was left. Suddenly he heard the closet door creak again...
In panic, he quickly jumped under the bed and just stared at the closet door. Bloody eyes appeared in the darkness. Suddenly, a long smile appeared as well, and a kark figure emerged from the closet. It looked around the room and Mike got goosebumps. It began to walk back and forth and Mike couldn't take his eyes off it.
As he watched it, it suddenly turned its head and looked directly at Mike. He got scared and backed more under the bed. He watched the limbs as they approached his bed and stopped. There was silence. Mike already thought That thing was thinking about leaving. The squirming. It was bending over...
Bloody eyes. Suddenly a smile. But not That thing's smile, it was his mum's smile. It was his mum , but her eyes were bloody red, like she was crying blood. He could see it so close, he could touch it. And suddenly, it spoke. "Mike, honey, please come out." "N-no," he said. "I SAID COME OUT!" She screamed. "N-never." She pointed to the boy's heads.
"...Boys...?" Said Mike
