Monster Under the Bed Exposed

Write a comedic story in which the ‘monster under the bed’ feared by many children turns out to be an adorably clumsy creature trying to protect the child.

This prompt challenges the traditional narrative of a creepy entity lurking in the shadows. What if the ‘monster’ is not only harmless, but also clumsy and essentially useless at whatever it is trying to do? This humorous take allows you to reflect on the unexpected, and explore themes of fear, misunderstood intentions, and unconventional friendships.
