When I was ten, I convinced myself (for fun) that there were creatures called Shmozzits living in my closet!
These imaginary shmozzits I made up were male and female and they lived in a nest that was on one of my closet shelves. They had a tapir's head, a fish's tail, a bat's wings and soft fur on their body. If you weren't careful, they'd eat your clothing!
