Apeman

Some nights I would have a nightmare.
A brown hairy man would slowly open the wardrobe
door.
He would creep up to my bed,
I was terrified.
As soon as I turned on the light, the hairy apeman
would disappear.
I would run to mum’s room.
She said that apemen did not exist. Mum would close
the wardrobe door.
The hairy apeman was gone.
