So I wrote this at 4 in the morning during a night shift job. I was reading How to Write Tales of Horror, Fantasy & Science Fiction and felt the need to write something myself. This is what I came up with.
It is hard to write a story with no pro-nouns. I didn't want to use 'he' 'she' or even 'I' because I felt that would take the reader out of the mind of the protagonist, and what I really wanted from this story was for the reader to feel like they were re-living a being afraid of the monster in the closet. I considered using 'you' but I always felt that was... condescending. So I didn't use it even when it might have worked, or even made the narrative smoother.
Not my best work, but I like it. I might go back and revise it later.
Read this story.
