Synopsis for "A Monster at My Window"
A science fiction writer sees glimpses of a monstrous creature that seems to be stalking him. After seeing the monster outside his window, goes to the bathroom for some medication when he hears the window break. When he returns to the room he beholds the monster is real and not a hallucination. He flees the creature, and the monster pursues him up to the building roof. The monster corners him and demands that he write stories of friendly aliens that look like him so that people will be influenced by his stories and unsuspecting when they launch an attack. The writer then reveals that he is in reality a monster from another dimension with designs upon Earth. The two creatures engage in a death struggle which the narrator offers the prayer will prove fatal for the both of them.
