Scares galore!
Toby was tucked into bed. He asked his Momma to leave the night light on. She kissed his cheeks, and gave him a bear hug.
The night light started to dim. After a couple seconds, it went out. Toby pulled the covers over his head. The room started to freeze. Toby pushed the covers aside and checked his room. He rubbed his hands and got out of bed.
Toby dashed across his room, and with the moon light shining through the window~ he managed to find his way around and picked his favorite blanket: the one that had many stars on it. It made Toby feel safe.
He walked back to his bed and noticed a trail of sand near his bed. Toby followed the trail and it led him to his closet. He reached for the handles and pulled the closet doors ajar.
A giant shiny eye stared at Toby. The monster told him to stay quiet. Toby dropped his favorite blanket and gulped. He ran to his bed, but the monster grabbed him by the ankles and pulled Toby towards the closet. Toby kicked and screamed. The monster cackled & shrilled, as it pulled him into the dark closet.

Early in the morning, Toby’s mother came to check on her baby. She turned the door knob. The night light was out. She moved towards Toby’s bed & pulled the covers- a pile of sand fell to the floor. She shrieked.
Toby’s mother searched the entire room. She checked under his bed, the drawers, and when she got to his closet~ she spotted his favorite blanket on the floor. Toby’s mother picked it up and clasped it. She wept into Toby’s favorite blanket. Her son had vanished into thin air.
