I hug my legs tight against my body. This shouldn't happen to eight year olds, I think to myself. I can hear it's footsteps approaching the closet door. It lets out a bone chilling moan that tells me that it's right outside the door. I hold my breath as it lets out a series of clicks. The closet door shakes violently as it throws itself against it. I refrain from making any noises to let it know that I'm in here, but it's hard when you're as young as I am. This is the kind of thing that kids my age can only imagine in their nightmares. When you're young, your imagination is limitless. But this... this wasn't the work of my imagination. No, this was something that took the laws of science, and threw them out of the window. This couldn't be possible, well, at least not in real life. This kind of stuff only happened in Sci-fi and Horror movies.

But as I sit here now in this closet, cowering in fear, my imagination slips away as this reality plays out in front of me. I have no one that I can run to and hide behind. These monsters killed them. This is a call for help. I need to get out of here. I'm so scared... I just want my parents back... My life... Someone...

Anyone... Please...
