"I may not see him anymore, but he is still there, occasionally. A reminder that you never completely get rid of your fears. And, luckily for me, we will both die at the same time."
A young boy named Jimmy lives with his mom in a nice neighborhood, and a small home. Jimmy doesn't have that many friends and lives with constant anxiety. He believes the rumors of monsters hiding under beds and in closets.
He has many fears, and has been told that he hallucinates a lot. Yearning to be normal, and gain a friend, a Monster appears to have taken a type of interest towards him.
However, the feeling Jimmy gets about the Monster and their violent tendencies make him fear for his life. And that is the exact fear the Monster lives off of.
And the Monster, Pavor, would not stop until he got what he wanted.
=============================================================
I'm only a man
With a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand
To escape what's inside me-
A Monster, A Monster,
I've turned into a Monster!
A Monster, A Monster,
And it keeps getting Stronger!
