Boogie-Man
The darkness clouds around her as she shivers in the dark. Shaking her head from side to side, she tells herself not again. NO MORE!! She hears footsteps and feels the vibration of the floor shaking. She hinds behind the hanging figures in the closet. She knows that he is coming, she realizes she has no choice but to give in. "Why me? Why me?" she says to herself as she holds on her knees to her chest. He was suppose to protect her from pain and hurt yet that is all she receives from him. Who is this person that she is talking about you ask? Well she only calls him by one name and one name only----- the Boogie Man. As the the footsteps get closer, he begins to yell out her name. He opens the closet door and drags her by her hair and throws her onto the bed. As he again takes her innocence away, she smells the alcohol on his breath as he lays on top of her, holding her down to the bed. She doesn't say anything, she has become accustomed to the evil figure. The evil figure she calls the Boogie-Man.
