Story Time With The Satanic Teddybear

***
The Girl Who Cried Wolf-Monster!
by C.D. Brinker
***
Some say there's demons,
Some say there's ghouls,
Some say there's snarling beasts
That scream and drool.
But none are as frightening
As the horrible wolf-monster,
Or so says a little girl
Named Kayla Voncoster.
But come on, seriously?
A horrible wolf-monster?
How could anyone believe
Little Kayla Voncoster?

"But I know where it sleeps,
I know where it roams,
Deep in the forests
Beyond our homes!
It comes out at night
To howl at the moon,
It frightens the skunks,
The bats and raccoons."
But no one believed her,
They thought it was a slight.
For no one else heard
This wolf-monster at night.
So the villagers laughed
And the children all sneered,
There's no such wolf-monster
Which they should fear.
But when some chickens
From a nearby farm
Were found eaten to death,
It caused much alarm.

"It was the wolf-monster!"
Kayla Voncoster said.
"It wasn't just some fox
Or a cat that wanted fed."

But the villagers all shrugged
And went about their way,
Yet they were quick to their homes
At the end of the day,
No one would admit
They felt a tinge of fear,
For the next full moon
Was approaching near.


And on that dark night
The villagers heard shrieks,
Curiosity got the best of them
So they went to take a peek.


They met out in the street
With torches in hand
And went out searching
Every farm, every land.
And what should they see
Just up in the hills,
A little girl playing,
Running around for thrills.


Yet when they approached
It became quite clear
That it wasn't some girl,
But rather a beast to fear!


With fur like a dog
And a body of a child,
A creature stood snarling,
Tamed, yet wild.
"I told you it was real,"
Said Kayla Voncoster.
"And it's me,
I'm the wolf-monster!"


The villagers all screamed
And ran away from fright,
While Kayla Voncoster
Howled into the night.
