Talk:The Window in Front of Me/@comment-35711173-20181008160029

My reaction was very much like Jdeschene's.

Some things are good. It sounds like a kid's impression of a move. They don't like it. Some things don't sound right, like the roof of the house being painted. You don't paint a roof. You paint a ceiling.

If I am the Dad and Mom, I am going to think the kid had a nightmare caused by the window cracking, the move, etc. There is no external evidence. I am certainly not going to decide to move the entire family (a VERY expensive proposition) based on a kid having a nightmare, if the kid really even had one and isn't just lying about it to manipulate us.

This is also an ordinary story. "There is a kid. The monster appears to the kid without warning and without explanation.  The monster scares the kid.  The monster leaves." We see a lot of them.
