This short story tells the tale of an abused and neglected little girl living in a derilict cabin deep in the woods of Alaska, and the melancholy monster with no memory of his past, who comes to live under her bed. Notes from the Author- **I write best when I am inspired by music....and the music that inspired this story is: artists, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - song, "The Road" artist, Clint Mansell - song, "Xibalba" ***After countless weeks of telling myself that "I can't possibly do this!! I can't write worth #%##" I wrote this short story six days before a contest deadline. Personally, I love the way it came out so much so, that I am working to expand it into a full length novel. Thank you for reading, and I would love to hear from you! :)K
