she hadn’t thought of monsters since she was a little girl. monsters were never to her as the other kids saw them, a monster was her father’s face, it’s growl was the stomp of his boots ; the storybook was her house at midnight. the idea that things that went bump in the night were & had been real her whole life was enough to rattle her bones , whatever was in that pool that nibbled her ankle had taken barb & now they took tommy. ( her tommy. )
‘ alright , woman . tell me everything , i have to know what’s really going on. ’
