The other boy agreed, but then said something that made Angel's head tip to the side. Monsters? There were no such thing as monsters! His daddy had said so. There were big and scary things, but they were animals too. They died like everyone else.
Sidetracked from the talk of growing big, he said, "Monsters? There's no such thing! My daddy said so, they're just fears."

His dad had called the feeling they gave him 'heebie jeebies' and said that they were what made his imagination go wild and make monsters. But that was all monsters were; bad feelings and an unruly imagination.
