Monster Under The Bed
New friends
Dragging the heavy suitcase I packed this morning. It's around 8pm. I'm looking for the house number 313 on the deserted alley. Since my parents died, I lived with my grandmother, but she also died a few days ago. When I was 17, I couldn't find rent except here. The alley is very dark. Beautiful villas make up a pacifist landscape. I'm barely at number 201. I walked for a while until I took a turn and went up a hill. At the top of it I notice that I have reached number 309. I look for house 313. of all the houses that was the darkest. Made of rotted gray wood built in Gothic style. I hesitated initially. What if a psychopath lives here? I'd better go back and find someone else to stay with. But I already paid the advance. Who else will welcome me into the house at this hour. I don't even have money with me. I walked over to the gate and opened it with a screech. The grass was very tall and the weeds prevented me from moving. I got to the gigantic 3 meter door and knocked on the door. Nobody answered. I better be back. Maybe I got the address wrong - I thought. It's impossible, this is house number 313. I pressed the bell on the door. Still nothing. I was holding the suitcase tightly in my hand. That's it. I was fooled, no one is staying here, I lost the money, I better go back. When I put my hand on the doorknob, the door opened loudly.
In the doorway was a bald old man, with ugly features, black eyes, white beard, dressed in a very old suit. He had blocked me. I didn't know what to say
thomas
I got the wrong house.
The old man looked at me suspiciously
the old man
are you Thomas? The rent boy?
the old man
then come in. don't be afraid... There are other boys here with whom you will become friends... I adopted them a few years ago.
Initially, I wanted to refuse, but when I heard that there were others, I told myself that old man can't do anything to me.
I entered his house. It was gigantic on the inside. On all sides there were corridors like a labyrinth.
thomas
Why are there 10 beds? We are only 5
I understand there's something suspicious in the middle so I was silent too.
the old man
I hope you reconcile
Said the old man after whom he slammed the door after him
Life story
thomas
What's the phase with that old man?
newt
You shouldn't ask him too much. He's a psychopath
thomas
He told me he adopted you
drex
Not really. He kidnapped us
thomas
Well... I'm thomas. I came here to stay with rent. My parents died when I was little, after I stayed with my grandmother until she died too.
newt
I'm sorry to hear this bro
drex
How did your parents die?
thomas
I don't know.. No one ever wanted to tell me
ash
I was abandoned when I was little. After I was adopted by a nice family who really loved me. One day I stayed overtime at school to do a project and when I came back it was evening. That's when this old man kidnapped me. My parents have been looking for me for a few years but he doesn't know I'm here. Everybody thinks this house is deserted
drex
I ran away from home when I was 15 years old.
My parents scolded me for taking low grades and pressed me to become like them. As in ash's case, this old man kidnapped me
newt
My parents were cops and they died trying to catch some criminals... I spent 10 years alone until this old man adopted me
thomas
I'm sorry to hear that
We went to bed. I felt weird. I felt sorry for these guys, but I felt good about being surrounded by people like me the others were avoiding me, but I never knew why
Horror night
I always thought there was something wrong with me but I don't know what. Maybe I was the only one in the class tattooed on my back. They were all horrified when I took my shirt off in the locker room. Many no longer wanted to be my friends
I stayed up until two in the morning. There was a crow on a branch that kept knocking on the window
Why have I never found out who my parents are? I didn't even bother to find out.
After a while I fell asleep.
newt
Thomas... Wake up.. Something strange happened last night
The room was battered by a hurricane
thomas
What? (i asked confuzed)
newt
A monster under the bed attacked us. I tryed to find you but i think that you were at tha bathroom
thomas
I think you had a nightmare. I was here all the time
drex
Probably the old man rescued you in another room
thomas
It's a joke, right?
ash
Ever since you came, something strange has been happening. I have never seen a monster. It had red eyes and very large claws
thomas
Boys, i don t now what happened last night but i want to escape from here
I m very scared. It s a monster in this room. I must pretend that i m brave. I m not a baby. Why i entered în this house? If the old man is the monster. The boys can t be.
the old man

newt

I didn t eat the breakfast. If the old man puts some poison in it. I must be very Careful. I think that the boys think the same as me. Nobody eats
the old man
