No one knows who it is.

No one knows where it came from.

No one knows why it is, or how it is, or if it even is at all.

But it has always been there, for as long as monster kind had been sentient. It has been there, as a reason for children not to wander too far alone. A reason to never break the common laws of society. To never be a murderer, an abuser, a cannibal. Or else it will come.

It will come after midnight, at 12:02. When your room is pitch black, not a speck of light anywhere. When you're all alone, with no cameras watching. It will come out of a hiding place, wether it be from inside your closet or from under your bed. And it will stay, until another person comes.

Some who have seen it, heard it, have gone insane. Others have killed themselves, too afraid of it always lurking, watching them in the shadows.

However, if you welcome it with open arms, it will stay. It will stay until another person comes. And if it enjoys your company, it may visit you again. And again. And again. It can be your best friend in the dark, when you're all alone. It will stay. It will comfort you on your bad days, should you welcome it.

Should you be quiet. And should you never speak of it to anyone else.
