Story
After the death of three young children, Mr. Billings comes to Dr. Harper and tells him the true story of what happened. All of his children, as he is sure, were actually killed by Buk - a fearsome and terrifying monster hiding in closets or closets. After completing the story, Billings agrees with the doctor about further sessions of therapy and is sent to sign up for the second meeting, but does not find a nurse. Looking again to the doctor, Billings sees that the psychologist has disappeared, and Buka, who is holding a mask in his clawed paw that looks like a psychologist's face, is waiting for him near the cabinet.
