monster in the closet. He thought it was a rat because there were plenty of rats in the house. He could always hear thump, thump in the closet. He tried to get her mother to come and see what was in the closet but she was drunk and she could barely walk. He would ask tuck to come and check the closet but he would just start beating him again. Billy would try to sleep .He didn’t even get anything from the closet anymore; well there wasn’t much in there. He had a few shirts and pants in a broken drawer. The monster wouldn’t stop making noise so he thought that maybe the monster was hungry and if he fed it, it would go away. He would sneak in the kitchen and get some meat. Even though he was very hungry, he would throw half of it into the closet. Tuck would always tease him about the monster in the closet. He had learned not to ask for help from Tuck. Billy started being less afraid of the monster. He even called the monster a name. He called him Angel. Well it wasn’t the right name for a monster, but the monster was the only thing he had close to a friend. He pictured how it looked. It didn’t look like an angel tough he had gotten a glimpse of the monster, he knew that it was big, it had red slanted eyes. It was hairy and it smelled like wet socks. He was sure that it had black long hair. Its teeth were huge and pointed. He heard it making yucky noises after he threw the meat in the closet. One night as Billy was trying to sleep when Tuck came in his room. He needed someone to tease and who was more amusing than Billy? Oooo Billy, is the big bad monster in your closet tonight?" Tuck said. I want to see the mean old monster in your closet!! Come here big scary monster! Have a little snack! Tuck ripped the sheet that Billy had over his head.” Come on Billllieeee, I want to see the big bad monster in your closet! Come on, let's throw you in the closet Billy, I am sure your monster is very hungry!" He giggled. He lifted Billy off his bed, Billy wet his pants. He threw Billy in the closet. Billy screamed. He felt Angel's breath against his neck. Tuck opened the door and Billy ran past him. "Where is your monster Billy? Butch taunted."Oh big scary monster, where are you? Oh I am so afraid!" He said. Billy watched as Butch was pulled inside the closet. He heard the screams and crunching of bones. He almost felt sorry for Butch. The screams of Tuck continued for a while. Billy went into his mother's room. He called Grandma. He knew she would come and get him. He knew he would never be afraid of Tuck anymore. Everyone thought Butch took off, and it was obvious that Billy's Mom was not interested in taking care of him so the courts gave custody to Billy's grandparents. Billy lived happily ever after.
