August 2022 Fiction Contest: Monsters On My Bed
September 1, 2022
My biggest fear is the fear of monsters. I am afraid that as I am sound asleep, a monster will yank my feet into the darkness. One night, I heard footsteps of tiny feet running into my room. The small-footed person leaps onto the bed. My bed. I wait furiously. Will the small-foot move? I wait until what feels like decades. I stop waiting when I hear high-pitched, delicate snores. I am enraged. How dare the small-foot sleep soundly on my bed?! From underneath, I reach my hands onto the bed and yank the little feet with me into the darkness.

The 101 word short story I have decided to write is inspired by my childhood fear of monsters under my bed. After many jumps from the light switch to my bed and my mom constantly convincing me otherwise, I eventually grew out of this stubborn belief. I wanted to put my best efforts into a bite-size yet capitative story with an unexpected plot twist at the end.
