Earlier today, I thought to myself, "'There's a monster in my closet' would be a neat way to start out one of those scary short stories I loved to read when I was in middle school."

I wrote it down, then wrote a little more and a little more. Right around the time I realized I had no idea how it ended, the ending tapped me on the shoulder and said "boo!" The whole process, from idea to publishing it was a little less than two hours.

I've never done this before, but I thought it would be cool to publish it here without the usual editorial and rewrites I do on everything, because the idea of conceiving, writing, and releasing a short story in just a couple of hours is intriguing to me.

If you're interested in the result, you can head on over to my blog and see something that I hope 12 year-old me would enjoy...

It's only 1200 words, and here are some of them:

There is a monster in my closet. Its standing in there behind my clothes, and it wants to come out. I dont know where it came from, I dont know how it got in there, but I know that its been there for a long time, waiting.

Mum and dad dont believe in monsters (and until yesterday, neither did I), but during dinner tonight, I had to tell them.

I miss those stories from when I was a little one. Makes me wonder if Goosebumps is still around.
