Inky Pinky

A long time ago, monsters and ghosts ruled the earth. The ghost would scare little children out of their beds at night and the monsters would grab them and take them to the Land of Eternal Doom where they would make the children do all their work. The poor children would never see their parents again and they never got any older. They also could never sleep again. All the monsters and ghosts were ruled by the head monster known as Gargonoyle . He was very big and his voice was like thunder when he spoke. All the monsters and ghosts were afraid of him because he could make them disappear with a click of his fingers. There was a little boy named Richard whose job was to clean Gargonoyle’s bedroom every day. He was told every time he was allowed to enter the huge bedroom that he was never to go into the huge closet next to the bed. If he did, he would be sent to the Tower of Torture where he would never see the light of day or speak to another child ever again. Richard was very afraid of Gargonoyle and never even got close to the huge door of the closet in case the monster would suddenly appear and catch him. One day as he was cleaning under the bed, he heard a faint sound coming from inside the closet. He crept close to it and knelt down by the two inch crack at the bottom. He leaned over and listened for a second but didn’t hear another sound. Just as he was about to get up, he heard it again. “Help Meee!” “Whose there?” Richard whispered. “I’m Inky Pinky. Gargonoyle has kept me prisoner here for a long time. It’s almost full moon again and I have to get out of here so I can help all the children get back to their world. Please help me.” “I can’t help you. If I get caught near this closet I’ll be in big trouble.” “You have to. This may be the last chance that I have to overcome Gargonoyle’s power for another one hundred years!” “I can’t even reach the doorknob, I’m too small.” The small boy whined. “Find something to stand on. I’m sure that there is something in that room that will work.” Inky Pinky instructed sternly.
