Monster

Outside a classroom door.

I attempt to lock the door in case the monster inside wakes up and tries to escape. Each time I think the door has locked I try the door and it opens.

I imagine the door being pulled open by the monster.

The door locks.

I go to bed.

The next morning I unlock the door.

The monster has turned into an old man in a long coat with a mustache. Music that I left for the monster the night before plays on a reel-to-reel.

The man smiles.

  1. Well the man with a mustache is probably better to deal with than a monster....
