The Monster Under Your Bed

The Monster

This is just a little Story I wanted to write after seeing a prompt on Pinterest.

Enjoy :D

Everyone has a monster under their bed. But what happens when you're not scared of your monster?

~~~~~~

File:22847

Name: Dylan R. Mitchel

Mitchell Age: 10

I sighed as I read the file name. Dylan has had more monsters than most.

Somehow his monsters all end up quitting.

I looked over the monsters I could give him for the time being when the list came up short. ..There's only one monster left on this list that hasn't quit on him...Me.

I sigh again as I realize I will have to take up the job. I've never liked field work.

I would much rather stay at the office, but, I'm the last one available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I look at the time and notice I only have 5 minutes until Dylan's bedtime.

I slowly get up and turn off my desk lamp. I start walking towards door 22847.

Did you have to double check the file name?

As I get only 4 feet of the door I see Foglich go up to the door next to mine and take a deep breath. I look over and say,

"Not feeling up to today?" Casually.

he looks over and chuckles as he says,

"Nah, It's just that my child's birthday is in a week and then she will be a pre-teen. I won't be able to be her monster under the bed anymore."

he says a bit sadly. I wish I could sympathize but I don't get children often,

I usually work at the desk.

He nods then walks into his door. I take a deep breath and walk in.

Don't Worry! I won't end it there. You just have to wait until next week. I'll be updating this and my other story once a week
