What lies beneath.. (pt 1)

Have you ever once been young? If you have then you will understand this story fully. If not then you might as well close this book and dig around for your boring old New York Times magazines.
If you have been a kid, or better yet, you are a kid then continue reading.  This story will open up your mind to what everyone has once thought  in their life. What lies beneath? 
When we are young; we play games. We go out and explore what the world has never shown us, children  look for new things to discover. They shrug their shoulders at danger and defy all odds they are incapable of getting hurt.. or so they think. However, when they go to bed they run and jump on the bed in fear of what lies beneath it. They call their mother to kiss them a sweet sleep and turn off the light then attempt to drift into a dream.  It  is then that the immeasurable thoughts of what lies beneath petrifies the mind with distress, imagination runs wild and fear sets in the depths of the mind.  Has anyone ever checked what was under the bed? What could be under such a dark and hideous expanse..
