by: Wil Day
A 27-year-old man has been arrested after a Kansas babysitter found him hiding under a child’s bed, police said.
At around 10:30 p.m. Monday, the Barton County Sheriff’s Office says a babysitter at a home near Great Bend was putting the children to bed when one of them told her that a monster was under their bed.
The babysitter, hoping to comfort the child by showing them there was nothing, looked under the bed and came face-to-face with a man hiding underneath, authorities said. There was an alleged altercation, and the babysitter and a child were knocked over.

The man fled the home before deputies arrived, the sheriff’s office said.

The man was ultimately identified as someone who used to live at the house but was barred from being there due to a protection from abuse order.
The sheriff’s office said deputies continued searching for the man into the morning. He was found near the home again, and after a short foot pursuit, was taken into custody.
The 27-year-old man has been booked into the Barton County Jail on suspicion of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, child endangerment, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer, and violation of a protection from abuse order. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.
Formal charges are still pending; Nexstar’s KSN does not identify suspects until they have been formally charged in court.
No additional details were immediately available. |

I stare at the file and realize I have no options, over the last 2 years every monster assigned to Charlotte Dower has quit, every last one. Her first monster; a giant goldfish-faced humanoid named Bubba, had been with her for four years, and then she wasn't scared of him anymore. After that it was a string of different common, uncommon, and rare monsters...I even assigned a sentient sock monster to her. He came back crying!
I look on my tablet, only one assignable monster left; myself.
You said it seems like it is a company, to which this applies:
...her little brother Daniel...Across the room underneath Daniel's crib is a rookie, Chico, a standard Creep kind of monster.
You also said that he seemed confused as to why she wasn't scared, and I think this fits that based on the speech pattern. In common practice, short, one word sentences are a way to show disbelief and confusion.
...Charlotte scrambles off the bed and...
She. Crawls. Under. The. Bed. With. Me.
"Move. Over!" Charlotte hisses at me. I do.
It fits that it is a man (her drunken father) who is the true monster:
...I smell the stench of human intoxicants before the man even steps inside. I know why Charlotte isn't afraid of any of my monster; she's afraid of her own.
And after it discovers the monster of a father:
"What the..." I cut Francis's next words off by unfolding mt full 12 foot height. Looming over the drunken man I caress my cold fingers down his face.
"If you ever touch, scare, or harm my child again, I will find you, and I will do the same to you, for all eternity." I promise to him.
As Francis runs from the room he soils himself.
So he quite literally as you said, scares the s%&! out of the man
It also ends very closely to the line you mentioned:
I am the monster under her bed.
