Five Sentence Fiction: Silence

His imagination has gone wild again and is banging on the walls trying to get out. Turning on the TV and flipping to one of those boring shows his parents watch, he hopes it'll distract it enough for it to calm down. All of his teachers always told him that he had an active imagination that could get him into trouble, but they had no idea how right they were. It was birthed from his gifted young mind and has been feeding off all of his wild thoughts and dreams for years, until it recently broke free and has taken up residence in his bedroom closet, peaking out at him every night, smiling with those cartoonishly large teeth. The silence upstairs triggers the realization that it's too late to get out of the house and run, so he grabs his crayons and leaves a good-bye message to his parents on their newly painted wall telling them his imagination escaped and is going to eat him.
