Danny missed school today, the Upside-Down Men were waiting for him outside again. They've moved house about five times now and their family always wear disguises whenever they leave but none of it ever matters. Once the Upside-Down Men get your scent they never lose track of you.
I know this, everyone at school knows this and Danny knows this but his parents refuse to believe him. They think it's just another children's story all while they're up against a child's worst nightmare made real. We hope they listen to him soon or he'll end up waiting outside their windows with the other Upside-Down Men.
You'd think that after Ellie and her family being taken last year, that adults would take them more seriously and listen to us when we talk about how to get rid of them. Tanya's family have been hunted by them since before she was born but they're still safe because they listen to her.
Adults don't know how to defeat nightmares - they think you can just wake up and everything is back to normal but the bad dreams are always lurking behind your eyelids. That's how the Upside-Down Men stay close by - one look and they're inside your head forever.
We won't miss Danny, we know he's already gone.
