The Old Cabin

Ah, I just love taking a SLAYCATION.  I enjoy playing a game of volleyball out, on the LEECH and relaxing by the resort's GHOUL-SIDE heh-heh-heh-heh!  Speaking of getting away, our tale concerns a pair of siblings, going on their own Summer trip, with their parents...
A young couple were in a car together, with a boy and girl in the backseats, in June of 1947.  The young man drove in the backwoods of Virginia and looked at the young lady.  "We are almost there, Rose my dear!" he told her.  His wife looked back at him replying, "yay!  That is good it is hot down here, Alvin".  Rose glanced back at the children, smiling at them.  "We are almost to the cabin Samantha!" Rose told the girl.  "Wow, Mama!  We are almost there Harry!!" Samantha told the boy.  "Hurray!" Harry said.  Soon Alvin pulled up, to the the side of an old, old cabin.  "Welcome to our Summer vacation spot everyone!!" he said.  Ten minutes later, Rose was in the cabin-kitchen, slicing bread on the counter.  
That evening, Samantha awoke to hearing a scratching-noise somewhere in the cabin.  She got out of bed and walked through the small hall, into the cabin-kitchen.  There, in the light of the moon, shining through the window, was a short figure, by the table.  The figure was a monster, with gray-flesh and a huge, long-mouth, which hung-open.  It also had: spikes all over its body and grey-gleaming eyes, with huge, white-teeth, jagged and sharp.  The beast saw little Samantha and showed her its black-claws, pointy and dagger-like in the moonlight.  It roared in a low-tone and Samantha screamed and screamed, rushing into the bedroom, where Rose and Alvin slept.  They awoke and Alvin held her tight and close to him.  "WHAT'S WRONG BABY GIRL???" they asked Samantha.  "A MONSTER'S IN THE KITCHEN DADDY!!!!" she replied, crying.  Alvin carried her to the kitchen, with Rose following close behind.  The creature had gone.  "Oh, baby girl, there is nothing to be afraid of.  For two-hundred years now, our kinfolk's been havin' that ol' creature as a pet in our cabin.  It looks spooky, but it protects all of us from intruders!" Alvin explained to his daughter.  As Alvin put Samantha down, he opened a bottle of Jack Daniel's Whiskey from on the table.  Samantha noticed five, huge, deep, claw-marks in the table.  
Hee-Hee, well, it looks like there's a SKELETON in every family's CLOSET eh?  It was good of Alvin to explain it all to little Samantha.  It was the BEAST he could do ha-ha-ha-ha!
