'We told you anything to get you to sleep when you were younger. And let's not talk about your mother, okay? Don't want to upset your brother.'
The boy nodded, still holding a small bear tightly against his chest. His father patted his shoulder before leaving the room, turning the light off as he left.

They weren't real. They never would be.
