One night when I reached under the bed for my truck I found this note instead Monsters Meet here for final test Z Ha My parents were obviously trying to trick me into staying in bed I didn’t believe in monsters
so I crumpled the paper grabbed my truck and zipped over to my garage I heard some creaking and rumbling but I wasn’t scared Our house always made noises at night
But then a voice under the bed scolded Stop that stomach rumbling The child will hear you Voices Stomach rumbling If this was part of my parents trick it was pretty cool I peered into the inky blackness Five pairs of eyes blinked back See Now he knows we’re here the voice sighed One of you has broken Monster Rule Number 1 Maintain the element of surprise This is no trick I thought There ARE monsters under my bed
