Tell The Raven Archives

One normal day I went outside and something rubbed against a blueberry bush. I had to see what it was so I followed the noise to where it was coming from. I turned and looked in the bush. It was gone. Whatever was there is gone now. I went inside. I found the remote and clicked the TV on. That was strange. It didn't turn on. I checked the batteries. There were no batteries in the remote so I went into the kitchen. I found some batteries, put them in, and they were dead. I went into the garage and I got new batteries. When I got back upstairs I looked to take the batteries out of the remote but they where gone.

I thought I was just hallucinating. I put the batteries in the remote, then clicked the TV on. This time it came on. I clicked through a couple channels until I got to my favorite. Then I set the remote on the ground behind me. I was watching TV until it turned off. I looked behind me and the remote's on/off button was pushed in and I could not get it out.

I ran downstairs to my room. I hid my head under my pillow. I could tell I had a problem. There was a problem, and I had to solve it. I was barely brave enough to come upstairs. Suddenly I saw a 10 foot tall hairy monster. I was freaked out and then I fainted. When I woke up I didn't remember the monster, the house I was in, or anything. I didn't remember anything because I had hit my head really hard on the hardwood floor. When I woke up I only remembered my family. I said "What is this place?" They said "It is your home."

The next day I remembered everything. I went outside to play, then I heard a brushing against the bushes. I remembered what that noise had led me to, so I mumbled in my mind, Oh no not again.

I ran inside trying not to repeat what I had done before. So I got some paper and crayons and started to color the big 10 foot tall hairy monster. For whatever reason I could not seem to get the monster out of my mind. I started to tell jokes my uncle made up because they always got my mind off my homework, so why not try and see if they can get my mind off the hairy monster. "Okay here it goes" "What do you get when you cross a crocodile and a flower... I don't know but I don't to smell it." " It's not helping."

I got up and went to bed. I had a nice little nap. When I woke up the bed started to shake and wiggle. I looked down to the bottom of my bed I saw the big hairy monster shaking it. I fell back onto my bed then the shaking stopped. I looked back up it was gone.

I told my mom and she told me I was crazy. The next day I went to school. I went into the library and looked up a book that was called 1,000 Monsters and How to Get Rid of Them. I looked in the table of contents. I looked for a Hairy Monster title. I found the monster I am looking for and I am going to defeat it once and for all.

I read the whole section before I came home. "When I see that monster I will smoke him!" I went inside, sat down, turned on the TV, "No, oh-no," I said as I turned the TV on, because it actually turned on.

I waited for it to come. I sure did but I just went on in life still waiting. Before you know it I'm 20 years old. Finally the day came. I saw him again. I remembered what to do so I kicked him in the face. "POW" I hit him in the gut. "BAM!" I finally kicked him out the door and it made a big loud..."BOOM!!!"

It's a year later, he never showed up again!
