Obey the rules. It’s the only way to survive the night in a short story about what hides in the dark. Marcus grew up believing his father killed his mother, then blamed it on the boogeyman under the bed. Always leave the lights on, his father warned, or the boogeyman will get you. Marcus still heeds the superstition, especially when he invites his new girlfriend over.
