Winner Bedtime by DanaSan

Bedtime

by DanaSan

I could hear it moving around beneath me, breathing heavily. Wrapping a sock around my hand, I looked under the bed, right into its icy blue eyes.

“Please,” it moaned. “I want to go home.”

“Hush,” I said, shoving the sock into its mouth. “You’ll wake the others.”
