The Little Boy Adventurer

The little boy adventurer descends into the labyrinth beneath his homestead. His steps are slow, and methodical. His nerves flare, but he ignores them; he cannot afford to be frightened.

Somewhere in that unrelenting darkness hides a monster. This creature is notoriously evil, and infamously grotesque. It is known as the destroyer of laughter, the killer of joy, and the devourer of children. He marches towards the essence of nightmares armed with only his father's flashlight and older brother's BB-gun, yet the adventurer remains undaunted.

“Alright Boogeyman,” he barks, reaching the last step. “Playtime is over.”
