Monster Under the Bed

Sally rushed to her bed but tonight, not as fast. She rolled into bed instead of jumping.

“Are you ok?” Came Und’s concerned deep voice from under the bed.

“Uh, yea. I uh,” Sally gasped as she gathered her covers, “I started today.”

“Started what?”

“My period.”

“Oh, it’s part of growing up, unfortunately.”

Sally felt like crying, “Yea, and it stinks. I don’t want this.”

“Ah, yes, the growing pains of growing up. I’m sorry it’s so difficult.”

“Hey, Und? Are you a boy or a girl?”

“I’m male.”

“Lucky.”

Und chuckled, “Goodnight, Sally. “

“Goodnight, Und.”
