[ WP ] A child writes a eulogy for a monster .

[ I am OP ] ( http: //bnolet.me/post/111635210711/now-for-a-story-eulogy-for-the-unseen ) 
 
 Jem was a girl who didn ’ t know what to do with herself after her stay at college in her Social Science program. She got a chance to try a whole bunch of different things but she never really found something that interested her. She seemed to be one of those special cases that didn ’ t really fit her interests into one specific thing. She only liked a little bit of everything. 
 
 That was until the monster under bed died. She was devastated but she finally knew what she wanted to do. 
 
 > > Jared wasn ’ t like all the monsters that children find under their bed. Jared seemed more afraid of me than I was afraid of him. Of course I didn ’ t notice until I actually looked under the bed after my eyes had adjusted to the darkness. He was petrified and so I asked him what was wrong. 
 
 > > Not long after, we became the best of friends. I was kind of a recluse in elementary school so when I finally had the chance to talk to someone who understood me, I took it up right then and there. Him and I talked all the time but never showed his face to my parents. 
 
 > > When I moved out before college, we had to sneak him out in the middle of the night to my apartment so that he wouldn ’ t be seen. We lived like that until one day, he just died. I barely ever actually saw his face until that night when I pulled him out from under my bed. He was an older monster. He had grey hair and sunken in eyes. 
 
 > > We had the best of times talking before bed. I shared with him the relationships I had, the decisions I was making and the ones I wasn ’ t sure about. He helped me through hardships and pushed me harder when he knew I needed it. 
 
 > > For that, I truly thank him. I can ’ t help but think still, what do I want from life? I told myself I wouldn ’ t cry but I think I ’ m going to have to. I want more of him. Because of him, I never lost the sense of childishness that I had when I was a kid. I want to help children through those hard times and that ’ s why I ’ ve chosen to take up child psychology. 
 
 > > Rest in Peace Jared.
