Every parent knows the drill: tuck in, well, okay, one story then, but short… and so it starts.

This is a short story.

Why short?

You need to go to sleep.
The story is about you. You went to sleep.
End of story.

A monster?

Just watch.

This is a short story.

Why short?

You need to go to sleep.
The story is about you.
You went to sleep.
End of story.
