The Boogeyman

“I always get scared at night when I’m home alone.”

“Why?”

“I hear every little noise and think it’s someone outside and have to go look to make sure it’s not. It gets to where I start imagining noises.”

“What, are you afraid the boogeyman will get you?”

“No, I’m afraid the drug smugglers and thieves that walk past my house at night will get me.”

“Oh. Yeah. I guess that’s fair.”
