There was nothing that the young monster was more afraid of than the children it was certain lived above the bed. Though it often peaked out from under the bed during the night, when it knew it would be safe in the darkness, during the day it was sure it saw feet and legs moving across the floor. Though it had been told repeatedly that humans were not real, and there certainly weren't any living above the bed, that didn't help it to sleep any better in the day when it was sure every creak and thump was human footsteps.
