=The Thing =

====As I woke up in the morning I saw a list. "UGH!" I thought as I looked outside. I took a look another look at the list again. I turned it over to find a note from mom. ====

Dear Charolet, I am going to be in Florida for a few days. Take care of your brothers!
-Love Mom

"Charolet!!!"I heard my brother yell, "WHERE'S MOM !!!!"
====I walked into his room and told him, "Mom is out for a few days, she should be back Tuesday." I whispered. Then I was gonna turn away, but then at the corner of my eye I saw a frown on his face... I kept walking.Then I heard a cry.====

" THER E'S  A SUPER SCARY MONSTER OUTSIDE AND IT'S WATCHING ME!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!" He screamed.

I told him it was his imagination. I slipped on a yellow shirt that had a banana on it. " T ypical, my butt hurts now"I put on an orange t-shirt and my old blue jeans and walked outside..

It's freezing in the middle of Summer? Weird... I walked inside and went up the stairs... I walked in my room. As I sat on my bed I realized I should check on my brothers just to see what I saw a while ago was real... I saw one of my brothers at the door again. He gave me a hug and said the monster is by his window and took Marshal the other little brother.. (We never named the one thats in my room right now; I know what your thinking, WEIRD!)... I opened the curtains and looked, he wasn't fibbing. Tears flew down his cheeks... I paused and  bent down to reach his height. HE walked out of the room.. He brought his toy cars into my room and hid in the closet... I started to strum the D chored on my silver guitar because I didn't know weather I saw something or not, until I heard another scream. I ran into my brothers room, I saw the thing grabbing my other brother!(because usually one of the brothers would be sleeping all day)(The monster grabbed the one most lazy) I kicked it as my brother flew into my arms... The Thing fell through the window. I saw a hole in the ground that went as deep as an elephant.. Then I heard a big BOOM on my window. Then I saw the thing again. This time it had my both of my brothers in the things  arms.(Oh, please no!) I stuck my head <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">out the window <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">and as I was about to get it to go away, it screamed loudly and broke my window even more.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"Wow, violent monster much!" I said

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"I'll <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">say" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">,said the mysterious voice behind Me

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I turned around to see is somebody was there. Nope. I turned again to double-check. The Thing was there. I blinked a yelled for it to go away.

The Thing was gone. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I couldn't let my brothers down now.. I had to find them. But there was something inside me telling me I shouldn't go after the Thing to get my 3 other brothers back.(The thing tried to eat them for brains) It was <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">too <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> dangerous to capture the Thing capturing my 3 brothers. Once again the Thing came back to my window. It couldn't see me. I was hiding under the windowsill until finally I jumped up quickly and pulled of it's mask or face thing. It was MOM?... Mom just chuckled.. She told us she pulled this trick so we could learn a lesson to trust each other incase something like a robber or murder actually happened in the future... I blinked a few times and opened up my eyes.. It was only a dream. WRONG.... I got up and looked around the room. The Thing, it was standing in my closet... With it's burnt up face,ashes on its body, and burnt clothing made me shiver... I blinked once more... It wasn't gone.. It's almost like it would follow... I got up and ignored it, still shivering like no tomorrow.. I was more scared by every step I took.I went to get some breakfast... I opened the refrigerator... It popped out and told <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">me "Ready <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">or not here I come"... I ran out the door and made a clean stop where the bus stop was... I <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">remembered <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I had left my brothers... I went back and saw a few hands on the ground... I saw my brothers screaming in pain... His hands were gone.. I wondered why the Thing did this...

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I heard a phone call in the house. I ran for it. It was grandma. I thought she had been dead 3 years ago! I answered. I heard screams of warfare. <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I held the phone and <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">started to shake. I slammed the phone down and ran outside with a baseball bat and took a swing at it. I fell to the ground. I had dirt on my face. It turned around to walk away and smashed on it's back. It turned and took a swing at me with it's hand. I fell trying not to cry.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I blinked 3 times.. I was back in my bed again. And so, it was only a dream... And so I got onto my laptop and searched up "The Thing" ... It was a legend that each night that you didn't exactly believe in ghosts and goblins and moocharia (A monster that haunts children like the boogey man. Also known as Moof) you <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">could <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> be struck by this curse for times and times on until you believe. I believe now... AND SO SHOULD YOU!!!!!!! For only $9999999.00 a month!
