Maybe

I went to the house, the house that everybody called the Maybe house. In it lived the Maybe man. He said, "Maybe" to everything.

I opened the door with my sack full of goodies. The Maybe man invited me in. He took me up to the top floor. He led me into a room. It was a dark room with no light. No lamp, no nightlight. Then the Maybe man shut the door and locked it. I was stuck in the darkness.

Then I heard the word "maybe" echoing around me. "Maybe...maybe...maybe...maybe.."

Then my eyes closed shut for good. The last word I heard was "Maybe".
