Author Notes: Any criticism of sorts is highly appreciated!

The midst of darkness was partially lit as the moonlight kept on penetrating the night's sky; illuminating several of the houses throughout the neighborhood. Some of the residents who were awoken by the sight, tugged their sheets harder and closer while few others drawn out their curtains.

Slowly but surely, they fell asleep once more, one by one; all except for a sweet little child who was admiring the view from afar. Staring away from the bed was a small girl named, Alexis; she had been crying silently ever since the hearing of her sister's story about the boogeyman.

Believing her prayers have been answered by the almighty, her sobbing gradually ceased and she began feeling the need to sleep. Before covering herself with the blanket; she made the sign of the cross in an effort to thank God for fulling her tiny request.

But unfortunately for Alexis, she and like most children have always forgotten to lock their closets. Gazing at the girl from the small opening of the cabinet was a hideous humanoid figure. Drooling from its small but expandable mouth while scratching its forehead with its elongated fingers.

It pondered to itself, should it try out the new doorknob approach or continue on like it had normally done?
