The Lazy Monster

fantasy. The sun would set early, and candles and oil for the lamp did not come at a cheap price.

Hence, his close friend, Mr. Badweather, and he had the chance to attack somebody.

In short, winter really did allow him to carry out his job at best.

Somebody, you got it right, I said somebody: that means that I am not solely talking about children. The lazy monster is not picky when it comes to food, and he settles for anything that he comes across.In fact, he would not think twice

before capturing an adult, although he would get little satisfaction from it.

Then, modern times came by, and men began building machines to ease off their work, machines for their kids’ leisure time, and not only that. Then again machines that could do anything: there was not much room left for thought.

The streets were empty, no more children’s laughter on the streets either.

They had created the lazy

monster’s dream world.

That is how he began to grow bigger. Day after day, he was capturing more and more children and adults, until he became worthy of the monster title.

You must be wondering: how does one know who got captured?

That is a good question.

Well, it is enough to find out where he hides himself.

In the adults, he prefers hiding himself in their stomachs.

Why the stomach, though? You must be wondering. He twists himself in their tummies, like a big snake.

You must have heard of those rolls of fat.

Well, the bigger the rolls, the higherthe chances that the lazy monster got hold of the adult.

Except for some cases, where a big tummy goes together with a fine head.

If there is one thing that the monster hates, that is a head filled with ideas and fantasy.
