My Monster :)

Here is what I think it should look like.  Susan

Janine's Monster by Lisa

Monster in the Closet!

The child opened his mouth to scream but no sound would come. "Run! Run!" he shouted in his mind, but his legs would not take him from this living nightmare. He raised his head to look at this creature square in the eye. Looking back at him with one, yellow blood-shot eye was the most hideous thing he could have ever dreamed up. The heavy breath smelled of burning tire rubber and a greenish glob of goo fell from its mouth and plopped to the floor nearly landing on the poor boy still unable to move a muscle. The boy blinked his eyes as if trying to wake himself up or in utter disbelief of what he was witnessing. There before him stood the massive beast that took up the entire walk-in closet. It was hunched over and yet its head still brushed the ceiling. The fur was matted and tangled which covered its body adding to the beast's size and fierceness. The boy could have sworn the creature was a hint of purple. "What a strange pretty color for such a frightening beast," the boy thought and then almost laughed at himself for thinking such thoughts as he was most likely about to get eaten. The creature grimaced at him as if it read the boy's mind and showed off its razor sharp teeth and extended its enormous bat-like wings. As the creature bent down to sniff the boy, its one crooked horn that was sitting right on top of its long, hairy snout barely brushed up against his right cheek. He shuddered at being this close. The creature blew a puff of air through its nose that caused the hair to stand up on the now near catatonic child's neck. At any moment he was half expecting to get cooked by flames, although he didn't know if this was a fire breathing dragon or not. "It didn't look like any dragon in the picture books but what else could have wings, sharp teeth and nasty smelling breath," he asked himself. The creature then sat back on its hind legs. "What is it going to do?" the boy trembled in terror. It then lifted its back leg and scratched its head like a cat. It was at that moment the boy was able to get a good look at the pointed claws that could slice him in half with one swipe. He was doomed to some deathly fate he was sure.

It's been a long time!

I knew I'd have trouble keeping up with blogging. Too much other things to do and not enough time in the day! Ramsey's graduation party was a success :) He had many friends and family show up. Prom was also a fun time for him so we're winding down his Senior year. The big day is May 30th and I'm sure I'll shed a tear or two.
