As a kid, when I was five or six years old, scary subjects were always something to interested me and something on sdiscover what I was. I loved watching horror movies although my parents were totally against it. When I started school ,something that always bothered me was not finding any monster or any other scary things in the darkness of my room like the ones that my classmen were talking about . In the dark, there were no movements in my closet, othe hangers in my room didnt even look like a man who was standing with an angry face, because my friends were talking about this monster that hides under everybody’s bed every night and comes out after their parents leave the room, I decided to find the monster in my room, if there was one…
First, I wanted to know all the details of the monsters appearance. I took a notebook to school and started to write and draw all the description that I heard from my friends. I started with the color, green or black or gray skin. Acording to what they said,there were suppost to be three eyes, and four arms and hands. He had very strong voice and a big nose that can find you if you are hiding somewhere else but under your blanket in your bed. I drew him with excitement and aa little exagguation, I tried to put in some tails, too, in case the students were missing some details, a monster who eats all my toys and chases me if I’m still awake in the night. I so looked forward to seeing him, and I couldn’t wait to see himis grabbing my dolls. It sounded cool to me to see all those things happening in my bedroom.
The first night after my little research about the monster, the family dinner table seemed to take so long and all my mind was thinking about the monster. I didn’t want to say anything to my parents, because I was sure that they would ask me to sleep in their room, and they would think I was making up this story because I was scared. Finally, I left the table ,said my goodnights to my parents ,ran into my bedroom and closed the door .I cleaned my bedroom ,organized my stuff animals, turn the lights off, After waiting a while, I didn’t see or hear anything, I checked under my bed and in my closet.still waited but there was nothing coming up. Then I thought the monstrer might be hungry, so I put some cookies on the floor, I sat in my bed and held my pillow, but the room was still dark and quite.
When i got bored of waiting, I started to pick out a name for my new monster; green Shorty, monkey eater, long hands cutie.Then, I’ve heard something moving in the corner of my bedroom, I suddenly looked over there. My heart was beating very fast, I was clutching my pillow, and my eyes got big and bigger. Then it came out, it looked just like what I’d drawn in the class, It looked at me for a second, picked up the cookies and started to come closer to me. I didn’t know what my reaction should be, I smiled, then realized he really liked my cookies, so I gave him more and asked him to come closer to me slowly and sit on my bed, next to me. He could talk to me,He asked me to go with him to visit another planet for a while, he grabed my hand and we flew away.
”Sahar, Sahar, breakfast is ready, Wake up Sweetie, you are going to be late for school”, Yeah, That was my mom's voice. I opened my eyes, The morning was there. I was laying on my bed and had my teddy bear in my hands, “So what happened to my monster? When did we get back? Why are the cookies still on the floor? When did the monster leave me?” I asked myself. I couldn’t even remember my last conversation with him. I decided to wait for him again at night,I waited week, two weeks a year, but the monster never came out again, and that special night never happened again. Still after years, I can’t prove any of those memories to my friends or to my mom, I couldnt tell anyone about his monster land, full of lollie pops and chocolates. They thought that I was dreaming, but Only I knew they weren’t dreams , not only do monsters not scare us on, but they can be our best friends in the dark.
