On this night the moon was high and full, and she knew it would be hell. The people always says, “the crazy comes out on full moons,” and that is the truth!

I was never one of those kids who loathed bed time. I always looked forward to it. Every night my mom would let me pick a book off of the bookshelf for her to read to me.
