Angela sat on the toilet staring ahead already regretting letting her daughter have friends over tonight. What she really needed was a restful night's sleep after a very trying couple of workdays. She could hear the girls outside the door causing a ruckus and being very loud. She should have tried to pawn them off on Nicole's mom when she had the chance.
Angela finished her crap and flushed. As she washed up by the sink the ground began to shake beneath her slippered feet. The bathroom lights begin to flicker and several items from the bathroom cabinet fall to the floor below. The earthquake causes Angela to lose her balance and grab the the tank of the toilet for support. As she looks down into the bowl she notices that that all the water has drained from it and the sink which had been running a second ago suddenly stopped. Angela is trying to process what just happened when she hears the girls screaming for her outside.
Angela bursts through the bathroom shouting if everyone is alright. The place is a mess with several photos and vases shattered on the ground and pieces of glass all over the floor. Seeing that everyone is physically okay Angela tries to calm them and get to the bottom of this.
"What just happened?" Angela asks.
"There's a giant monster outside!" Her daughter answers.
"Adrianna don't be foolish there's no such thing as monsters." Her mother scolds her.
"No it's true we saw it. It's big giant eye peeked inside." The leader of the her daughter's new friends pleaded. Her with her friends nodding in agreement.
"That's ridiculous. You girls have been watching way too many monster movies. Those junk films will rot your brains. It was just a little tremor. I'm going outside to see and check in with the neighbors." Angela stated.
"No don't mommy! If you go outside the monster will eat you." Adrianna pleaded with her mom.
Angela blows off her daughter's warning and heads towards the front door. While all the other girls continue to plead with her to stay inside Nicole is surprisingly silent. In fact her attention has not left the window.
Angela approaches the door with the group of girls trailing not too far behind. Angela grabs the door handle and turns towards the girls. As she opens the door and steps into the frame looking back at the girls she confidently declares...
"You see girls. There are no such things as monsters..."
