She was only eight.


Sleeping, 

she awoke to a strange noise.


"Who's there?" 

She wanted to ask 

but was afraid.


Under her sheets, 

her face to the wall, 

she waited.


Her imagination took over 

as she closed her eyes.


"Only monsters come out in the night." 

She told herself.


"And monsters hurt little girls."
