Monsters
In Mississauga, an 8-year-old boy named Sam faces his fears and learns the power of tolerance as he struggles with shadowy monsters that appear in his home.
In a bright house on a quiet street, lived a boy named Sam. He spent his days playing with his favorite red truck and action figure, creating grand adventures all on his own. But sometimes, when the sun went down and the shadows grew long, Sam felt like something was different. It was as if the shadows had a mind of their own, growing bigger and scarier with every passing moment. Sam tried to tell himself it was just his imagination. But deep down, he wasn’t so sure.
That night, when everyone else was asleep, Sam couldn’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t alone. From outside, he heard a soft rustling... His heart raced. What could it be? Gathering his courage, Sam tiptoed to the window and peered into the night. What he saw made his heart skip a beat—a pair of glowing eyes staring right back at him!
He stumbled back, fear gripping him. The eyes vanished, but the uneasy feeling remained. Just then, his mother quietly opened the door. - Sam, is everything okay? she asked softly. He nodded and managed a small smile. She sat beside him, and the room felt warmer.
With his mother's comforting presence, the shadows didn't seem so big anymore. He realized that sharing his worries made them shrink, just like the shadows at dawn. - Mom, what if the monsters are just waiting for me to be alone? Sam asked, his voice trembling. - Sometimes our fears grow when we face them alone, she replied. - But remember, you’re never really alone. Together, they decided to make the house a place full of light and laughter.
From that day on, the monsters inside began to fade, replaced by the warmth of family. But one evening, while drawing in his room, the shadows grew long again. Sam felt a chill and heard the rustling sound once more. - Not again, Sam whispered to himself. He hesitated, but then remembered his mother's words. - I'm not alone, he repeated, standing up bravely.
He walked to the window and pulled back the curtain. The glowing eyes were there, but this time, he didn’t stumble back. - I'm not afraid of you, Sam declared. The eyes blinked and then, to his surprise, a small, friendly creature stepped into the light. - Hello, it said softly. - I didn’t mean to scare you, I just wanted to be friends.
