Escape
I was so scared of the monster.
My Mamma had always told me when I woke in the night, that the monsters were not real. I knew better though. My monster was very real and very scary.
“Okay, Cara, okay, no more prying from me. You will let me know if you need me, though.” It was not a question my mother was asking, but I shook my head anyways.
“I need to get going, or I will be late. Do not want the boss to get angry.” My mother just smiled, shaking her head, as I raced out of the house.
