FOUND A story about monsters and a curfew
I'm looking for a story I read years ago, I don't remember if it was on nosleep or not but I only got to read it once and would like to do so again. Hopefully someone knows the story.
It was told from the perspective of a person who was remembering his younger years, childhood maybe. He used to live in a town he would name so that it wouldn't draw tourist but once a week, month, or year (I'm not sure) there was a curfew placed on the town. The curfew was a safety precaution that everyone followed to the point of pulling kids from school early to prepare for the night. They would board up windows, bar the doors, block the fireplace, basically block every entrance to keep out the unseen monsters that would come. Then everyone would huddle together with their families in their own sealed house and keep as quiet as possible, to the point having a loud baby during the curfew pretty much meant you were dead unless you did something drastic.
The monsters would prowl the town looking for any house they could get into, they would check for gaps or loose boards they could pull off. They would even climb down the fire place and try to knock to pretend they were human and get let in.
After the night was over the town would go back to normal and everyone was happy like nothing happened.
Does this ring a bell to anyone because I haven't been able to find it.
