Every right five year old Jimmy told his parents a monster was in his bedroom closet. His mother or his father would open the closet and show him no monster was there. Jimmy and his parents went through what became like a ritual every single night from when Jimmy was age five to age ten.
When Jimmy was ten, the monster came out of the closet and dragged Jimmy into it. His parents woke up hearing his faint screams. They dashed to his bedroom wondering what was wrong. Upon reaching his bedroom in a panic, Jimmy wasn’t there. The looked under his bed, check the windows, and searched the closet, but never found a trace of Jimmy. Even the police were puzzled and wondered if Jimmy’s parents had murdered Jimmy and stashed his body somewhere.
Now Jimmy, as if somehow infected by a monster virus, has morphed into a bedroom closet monster and scares and kidnaps little kids whose mommys and daddys don’t believe he is in the closet when Jimmy vanishes before they look for him.
