Monsters under My Bed

She sleeps with a heap of books, a smiling dinosaur, a simple camel, and a lazy, ginger cat. She likes a cool, dark room to sleep. She woke up from deep slumber as felt a sudden chill of someone tugging her sheet slowly. She did not dare to open her eyes as the growl under her bed steadily grew; she felt that there was something close to drool or blood on her books, a leg was missing from the camel, and could not find dinosaur or the cat.

Her imagination brought back all the dark villains she has ever read to life that is now waiting under her bed to grab her ankles. Her cry never reached her own ears as something jumped on her with vengeance. A vile creature with a malformed face and gleaming big eyes tried to lick the life out of her. Her fingers finally managed reach the switch of reading light. Sincerely hoping that light could dissolve the monster, she opened her eyes just in time to save another licking attack from her pug.
