A gravelly voice spoke from under the mayor's bed.
"I hear you need a monster hunter."
The mayor sat up.
"What? Who?"
"I'm a monster. I hunt. What do you need hunted?"
"Beklo the Ogre, but..."
"I'll bring you its head."
"How..."
"I am a monster under the bed. If it sleeps, I can find it."

@MicroSFF In my imagination the monster is multitudes of thin, iridescent black tendrils small enough to creep from under tatami mats or prison sheets.

@MicroSFF don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your stories, I just have to ask:
I feel like you're currently on a roll and posting more than usual. Is anything up?
@buwel You're not wrong, I write and post more stories now than a year ago. But att that point, I was close to quitting altogether. See https://microsff.com/on-productivity-and-lack-thereof
I think it's mostly that I'm putting less pressure on myself. It's good to be kind, even to yourself.

@MicroSFF Elsewhere, Beklo is in bed, muttering about that good-for-nothing mayor, when a gravelly voice speaks, “I hear you need a monster hunter.”

@MicroSFF Aww, I missed the monsters under the bed!
