The story went like this: He has many guises, you see, but... few have looked upon his hideous, true self... A man I once met, he saw it. He was a thief who broke into a great and wealthy mansion... He then hid, in a cupboard, until the midnight hour... Just before the time for the theft was right, he saw it, through the keyhole... A sight most horrifying an indescribable beast, gorging itself on... unidentifiable hunks of meat. This thief... he shook with fear. Be cautious, dear child...
