A Creature

He hears breathing. Heavy breathing. Very heavy breathing. The little one calls for his mom. He puts his scaly blue arms around his mothers slim waist, looking up into her 50 black eyes with red rims. She gurgles, telling him It will be ok.
"There is a monster under my bed!" Little Sulyanto says.
"Let me check."
The mother sticks her arm out to lift up the cover of the underside of the bed. She peers under and screams. "MONSTER!"
"What does it look like, Mommy?"
"It has only four limbs, two near the top and two at the bottom. It was staring at me with two blue eyes with black centers, surrounded by white. It was long and skinny."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to call Monster Controls"
