Panel A
Tommy's room: typical ten-year-old boy's room. A second story room in a typical middle class neighborhood. Small bed, with Tommy sleeping peacefully, wrapped up in his covers. A chest of drawers with a clock radio showing 1:10am in bright green digital numbers. Beside the clock, a worn old teddy bear keeps watch over the sleeping child. Little boy clothes spill like a waterfall from a half-open drawer. In the corner, a baseball bat wearing a mitt for a hat. A long low bureau adorned with a few glittering little league trophies, and assorted toys. The bedroom door is cracked, and a little light spills into the room. A closet door, firmly shut.
Tommy is: an average ten-year old boy.
Panel B
Tommy's room, same scene, but the clock reads 1:11am in sharp red letters. The teddy bear is facing the wall, as if afraid.
Panel C
Tommy's room, same scene, 1:11am and the teddy bear looking away as the closet door is outlined by a golden glow from within.
Panel D
Tommy's room, same scene. The closet door opens silently, casting a somber brown light across the foot of Tommy's bed.
Panel E
Tommy's room, same scene. The closet door is open wide, its light washing over Tommy. Tommy closes his eyes tight against the glare, raises a small fist to his cheek, as he begins to stir from sleep.
Panel F
Tommy, eyes wide open and paralyzed with fear, staring into the light of his closet. Within the closet, an indistinct, menacing figure begins to emerge (Boogy).
Boogy is: The Boogie-Man.
