Barry The Boogieman
A boogieman prepared to scare a child. He had to build up his
reputation as a creature of the night if he wanted to hang out with
the ghosts. Boogieman had it rough though. They stuck to closets and
children since they were too scared of adults. They were weak
creatures and could be beaten up very easily by even a thirteen year
old. An adult served as a monster to them. Only the other sympathetic
creatures of the night made for good company. A few boogiemen tried
to scare who they could to appear tougher. That was the mission of
Barry this night.
However Barry made a mistake. Instead of using his nightmare magic
to teleport into the closet of a young child, he teleported into the
closet of a full grown man. An ex-marine who woke up suddenly and
quite alert when the boogieman shouted. When Barry realized his
mistake he started to dash towards the closet but the marine grabbed
him.
Barry nearly wet his pants, but managed to say “Nice weather we're
having?”
“It's night.”
“But a nice one!”
“Right...” The marine continued the conversation and managed to
convince himself he was still asleep. The two became fast friends and
Barry became one of the most renowned boogiemen.
