Real Monsters

While enjoying a nice afternoon nap, I was awaken from sleep by the sounds of soft sobbing coming from over head. The kid was obviously upset from something, my interest was peaked so I decided to eavesdrop on him and his mother. After a bit of listening it became apparent that this kid has a problem much bigger than a child eating monster living under his bed. The poor kid has a bully, man I hate bullies. I know it comes off a little hypocritical sounding coming from someone who devours children in there sleep, but there's a big difference here. I ate children because that's what we do, it's no different that you getting angry at a lion for eating an antelope while you're chowing down on a cheeseburger(they're made from cows you know). Bullies are nasty, vile creatures that prey on those that they think are weaker or somehow inferior to themselves and they don't do it out of necessity, they do it because they can. As I listened more it turns out that there's a group of four of the little bastards picking on the kid. They've been doing it for sometime now, before I moved in it seems. The kid ended up with a split lip and a black eye because he tried to stand up for himself, four to one with no back up? The kid's got brass, I'll give him that, but the only thing that accomplished was proving he could take a beating. That just makes me angry, not only are they bullies, they also cowards. Well, I'm just gonna have to see if there's anything I can do. I really like this kid, he's super cool. I don't know why anyone would want to pick on him. Scratch that, he's a bit of a loner. I haven't seen one single friend come over here since I moved in. He's a geek, tons of comics and action figures and sci/fi stuff(I'm a geek myself so I'm cool with it). Lastly, he's pretty scrawny, even for one of you guys. He's thin and frail, don't get me wrong, he's not sucking an inhaler and taping his glasses in the middle. I don't even think he wears glasses. Still, that's no reason to screw with him! I guess I'm gonna have to go down to that school tonight and do some detective work. Ask the locals if they've seen anything, find out where these A-holes live. Oh, I don't mean go and chat up the other children, if I was going to do that I mightiest well just walk him to school and eat those punks in front of their parents as they drop them off... No I can't do that, I want my one month chip! No I'm gonna talk to my people that live at the school. There's all sorts of us there, I'm sure someone saw or knows something. There's the brownies that live in the library. They eat the glue in the book bindings and are always rearranging everything. That's why you always have trouble finding anything in there. The gremlins that hang out in the janitors closet, they're always destroying things. They'll find the weak spot in a chair and remove something so that when you sit down you're fine, but if you move the whole thing falls apart. Those guys are a hoot! There's all sorts of imps and trolls and everything in between living at a school if its big enough. Anyway, I'm gonna go down there and get the dirt on them and see what I can do to make it stop. Nobody messes with my kid!!
