Bed Bugs!

Bed Bugs--a Drabble (100 word story)

“Please! Check under the bed,” the little brat brawled.

I stopped, my hand on the door, and sighed. “There are no monsters under the bed.”

“I heard something scraping,” he whined, louder still.

“OK, I will look under the bed if it will make you happy,” I said evenly.

I knelt down, leaning under the bed. A cold, foul vapor crept over my face. Red eyes shifted back and forth in the darkness, and teeth ground.

“No, nothing there,” I said, rising toward the door.

“Good night,” I whispered, turning out the light. “And don’t let the bed bugs bite.”
