Silent Night

                                     By: Jude Brian James

It was a cold Christmas eve and a boy named jack was asleep in bed. Suddenly he heard a noise in his living room. He stepped through the hall slowly but surely. The floorboards creaked as he stepped upon them.           He was fearful as he wandered into his living room past his decorated Christmas tree. He looked up the chimney and saw a figure. It as wearing red. It had a sack, but it was not Santa. It had a tail and claws and horns. It looked at jack and jack looked back.

he ran back to his room and heard hooves slamming against the floor after him. He locked the door behind him, but it was no use. The creature broke through the boor young boy’s door. It grabbed jack and put him into the sack he was carrying around with him. There were 3 children inside, along with bones, piles, and piles of bones, they were small and childlike. He screamed for help, but his parents were asleep. The monster dragged the sack to a big pit of fire and lave and tossed it in. The monster trudged away. The parents of the boy called the police butt it was no use. Most say it was a robber or serial killer, but most know it was no human being……. It was the Christmas monster known to most as…… Krampus.
