“But, Mommy has gone into the light. Didn’t you remember?” One of the monsters responded as cautiously as possible, noting that it may break the child’s heart further.

In that instance, Tom had a flashback. He saw Mommy laying on the floor with bright red stains on her chin, coughing as she tried to lift her finger to reach out to her son. An unknown man was beside her, breathing profusely as he glared sternly at her. Sensing danger, Tom ran as quickly as his short legs could and hid under the bed where all his forgotten toys surrounded him as disguise. There were heavy multiple thuds which vibrated on the floor. Tom could hear them distinctively as he pressed his ears hard to the ground. A faint shadow approached near him, and Tom held his breath for the longest time, especially when he saw those bloody boots from his view.

“Damn, where did that kid go?” The man was ravaging the room, opening every cabinet doors violently. Since he couldn’t find him, he left swiftly to search other areas. That’s when Tom started to break down internally, crying silently until all lights dimmed out.

Indeed, Mommy has gone into the light. She was gone forever and never would be able to be by his side.
