“Uncle Jack!Wake up”
Jack,who’s been staying at his brothers until he got his life sorted,woke up hazily.
“Tommy? Wassamatter?”
“My room,please…please!”
Tommy ,11, led his Uncle into his room and pointed to his closet.
“I-in there…” said Tommy fearfully
Jack peered into the closet. ” ‘snuthin there.Honest. Look”
“No,it’s inside!”
Jack sighed, walked into the closet.
“Nope,nuth-hey!”
Tommy slammed the door shut and locked it.
“Hey! What the-! Open this door!TOMMY! Dammit!”
Tommy woke up his father next.
“Daddy,” he said, “There’s a monster in my closet”
