448. Monsters Like Being Lousy Roommates

When you’ve become accustomed to living on your own, caring for your children on your grand, historic estate, it’s hard to take on boarders. It’s even more difficult when the uninvited beings moving into your home live on another plane.

Then, the bumps in the night begin to wake you up.

Monsters like being lousy roommates.

If it weren’t so un-lady-like, it would be enough to make you contemplate hitting someone.

Then your children begin acting strange.

And something starts playing with their toys.

And you start to get really angry.

It’s enough to drive you out of the house. Your rightful house.

Almost. But not quite.
