The Master has a Monster!



Have you heard of the saying that there are monsters under your bed? It is actually true! I have met the Master’s monster. His name is Rocky!

Mr. Ben the Bed introduced me to him just the other night. Everyone has a monster under the bed. It is actually quite a common thing. They are not there to pull you under the bed and swallow you whole. Unless that is what it takes to protect you. I think that maneuver gives them such a bad reputation. But it is actually all for the best.

They are big and strong creatures. They are there for you when you feel sad or lonely, when you are sick, or when you just need a friend to hug and hug you back. You monster is always there for you.

Each monster looks different. Depending on what their Master think is both terrifying and amusing at the same time.

The other night was particularly challenging for the Master, he was down with a fever and the weather was really bad. It was cold in the apartment and outside it was raining very hard. Then suddenly a loud sound and a bright light came out of nowhere. That’s when Rocky sprang into action. He jumped out from under the bed with his big big fiery eyes, sharp sharp teeth, and humongous paws that turned into molten whip-like claws of lava. He looked like a big bulldog but much much bigger and scarier. He is almost bigger than Mr. Ben! He roared to the lightning and thunder to go away... “Keep away from the Master for he is sleeping and he needs his rest!”

I myself was thrown off the bed. I was under the impression that the Master was being attacked. I was about to jump on this creature and scratch his eyes out. Good think Mr. Ben was there to explain things to both of us.

Rocky has been with the Master all his life. He is a cuddly monster. Scary when he needs to be but otherwise he is very
fuffy and smells like toasted marshmallows.

When the Master was young Rocky was the one who caught fallen teddy bears and put them back in is arms. He walked beside him through bouts of sleepwalking and blind trips to the bathroom. When the Rogues come, Rocky is there to stake his claim and send them away. Rogues are other people’s monsters who have gone astray and have decided to be other people’s monsters whether they like it or not. Rogues are no match for Rocky. In extreme cases of nightmares and exorcism, Rock can even jump into the Master’s dreams and battle with demons. He’s done it a couple of times.

The Master has some weird demons Rocky explained. Rocky asked me if I’d like to learn how to jump in the Master’s dreams and send the demons away. He could use all the help he can get in there. I told Rocky that I’m up to the challenge. We rubbed cheeks on it, now we are bonded for life.
