Its late night

You are a small child, in their bed, afraid of the dark and crying, everything is big at your age, and you believe theres a monster in your closet, you wanna wake up your mom since dad is out working, but you remember the big scold she gave you last time you woke her up because of your "stupid" imagination

Suddenly you hear footsteps, everything is so dark you couldnt even see so you quickly hid underneath your safe covers, and then... the footsteps disappeared, but when you peeked out to see if everything was alright...

But then suddenly... "WOOF!"

The Shadowy figure barked strongly, wagging its tail as you let out the loudest scream ever, waking up your mother
