Monsters

I woke up late on a Saturday, like always. It was noon, and as it always is, the house was empty. Mom was out doing who knows what, my brother at his friends, me left to do nothing. My saturdays are usually like this. I ate a somewhat lunch, then went outside to the back. It was a cool day. So I went for a walk in the woods. That was one of my favorite things to do, because in the woods, I could be anything I wanted. It was my own little world. It may have been just me, but I felt like the animals came toward me, instead of scurrying away. I leaned down to stroke a rabbit, and heard a loud thump to my right. It shoko the ground, and leaves fell from the trees. Then there was another. And another. Until a figure finally came into view. It was about 6 foot. It had big googley eyes that looked fake. He was covered in light brown fur that looked like clouds from head to toe. He had two baby horns growing from his head. Fangs popped out of his mouth. I shoould've been scared. I should've screamed or ran. But I didn't. I went right up and pet him. He picked me up, and I knew I met my not so average best friend.
