This is a great story.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
I disagree, Roget from the past. Roget of the present found this to be kind of boring.

Accelerando of the present agrees. Felt more like a description for a book or something.
I knew, the moment that the light was gone, that the monsters would come back. They would lurk in the darkness and whisper to me. I would cower under my blanket and hope they would go away. Sometimes, they would, when the morning came, but I knew that the moment the darkness came back, the monsters would return too.
How much would would a would-chuck chuck if a would-chuck could chuck would.
That aside this is a nice little tale.
Good start, can't wait to see it finished.

…I actually kinda liked it. It's short, to be sure, but it's well written and the "twist" got me. I expected it to just be him talking about how "real monsters" are SCP's, so I was presently surprised to see what the "real monsters" actually were. That said, I wouldn't mind if it had a bit more meat to it.
When I grew up, I learned why: the real monsters don’t hide in dark corners and closets. The real monsters are the ones that live behind your eyes, in the darkness of your mind, and it takes more than a flashlight to send them away, more than a blanket to hide from them. They're always there, whispering to you, saying terrible things that children don't understand.
This reminded me slightly of Lord of the Flies, which I recently read.
Overall, I enjoyed this short story, it was a nice read. +1
It was boring at first, but the end made me laugh. -1
