The Monster in My Doorway

It was after bedtime when he came into my room. I don’t know what time it was, I didn’t have a clock, but I knew it was after nine.
The girl next door always took her big fluffy dog on a walk around nine. She was just getting back when he opened my door. Yellow light sneaked in behind his shadowed form. He looked like an alien or one of those monsters from the movies that Sarah’s always watching.
He probably was one.
