Somefink Under the Bed is Drooling

Written by Anakin McFly

“Ugh. Something under the bed is drooling.”

Calvin and Hobbes both stared as the colourless liquid seeped out from under the bed and moved slowly towards the door. Neither dared to go back to sleep for fear that the owner of the drool would consume them if they did, and neither dared to get out of bed as doing so would mean stepping in the drool.

Under both of them, the monsters were waiting. And whispering.

“I’m almost out of drool. We better act fast.”

“Ok. I’ll take over for the moment. While they’re distracted, you sneak out from behind and grab them. And leave me the tiger.”

“Sure.”

The speaker took over from his friend, Maurice the monster, and let loose a fresh wave of drool. Calvin was astounded by the amount of saliva those monsters could generate. Downstairs, his father began to notice something and said so.

“Dear, we appear to have a waterfall coming down the stairs. I’ll go see what your kid is doing.”

“MY kid? C’mere and let me explain something to you.”

For the moment, the attention of both parents was turned away from the drool waterfall. Crouched on the bed and frozen with terror, Calvin decided that he better do something quick.

“On the count of three, we yell for mom, ok?”

Meanwhile, Maurice was stealthily crawling towards them from behind, still unnoticed by both.

“Three! MOMMMMM!”

Startled by the sudden shout, Maurice accidentally banged her head on the bedside. Calvin and Hobbes turned.

“AAAAAH!”

Under the bed, a certain monster wasn’t feeling too happy.

“Nice going, Maurice.”

The lights came on and the monsters vanished as Calvin’s parents waded through the drool and demanded to know what was going on.
