An eight year old boy got under the covers and got snuggled next to his stuffed animal. He yawned, turned on the dim lighted lamp due to his fear of darkness, and went to sleep.
The boy woke up in the middle of the night to a strange feeling. He rubbed his eyes, and looked around. His eyes stopped at the the end of his bed when he noticed a dark, shadowy figure standing there, looking at him.
The boys thoughts first went to his parents. He called out but didn't get a response. The figure just stood there, watching him.
The boy stared at it for a while before it disappeared in thin air. The boys mouth flew open after the what happened. What was that?
The boy laid there for a few minutes before his mom came in and told him to get ready for school. The boy looked out his window and was shocked that it was now morning.
He stopped his mom and asked if she or dad came in last night, but she responded with no. The boy was confused but got up anyway and got ready for school.
Three years went by and the figure still stood at the end of his bed every night watching him.
He was still scared and confused but never said anything to his parents cause he didn't feel threatened by the figure. The figure always just stood there watching him.
Five years had gone by, and still, the shadowy figured stayed there, watching him. The teenage boy didn't mind or even paid no attention to the figure anymore. For he was grateful that he never used the lamp. He was no longer afraid of the dark.
And it was all thanks, to his protector.
