The Apprentice Monster: Harry's First Scaring Assignment

He made the long line on the transporter that took him to the daily meeting of all the monsters.

There were any number of creatures, we could see a snake with a lion face and frog legs. We could also see a yellow creature that was shaped like a triangle. We could also see snakes with wings and human faces. Different amount of monsters, some rarer than others.

Our friend was in the shape of a ball. It was circular with a giant nose from which many hairs came out and two long arms that served to move.

He used to cocoon and roll, which was the way our monster used to move.

We were at monster central. Here all the orders were issued daily, the missions that each one had. And our monster called Harry, was on the conveyor belt, until they finally reached their destination, where each one had a door in front of them that took them to the place where they had to fulfill their mission.

The mission for today was to scare the children. And our dear Harry was just an apprentice who hadn't yet developed his scaring skills very well.

He had various techniques, he used to use them. And this time he had to scare a boy who was known as the neighborhood bully. He was a child who was not afraid of anything and was characterized by making fun of other children. He was already 7 years old, which made it a bit more difficult to scare him. Younger children were much easier to impress.

So our friend waited for the signal, he rang the red button to proceed with the mission. Immediately a door opened that took him to the place where the boy was at that moment. The child was in his bed and when our friend entered the closet where he was deposited, he stumbled heavily against the door, which caused him great pain in his protuberance, which was his nose.

The boy looked at him strangely and then went into a fit of laughter.

But what stupidity is this? Our friend, instead of scaring him, what he did was screw up, or rather, stick his nose this time.

He failed to scare him.

The boy asked:

"And who are you?"

"I am Harry the monster and I have come to scare you," Harry replied.

"But you don't scare me, you're ridiculously funny. Why are you a ball shaped like a nose? And why do you have that many hairs?" the boy asked.

"To smell you better, I'm going to smell you," Harry said, and began to smell the boy's entire body.

The situation was rather strange and bizarre than scary.

The boy burst into laughter and fell to the ground.

This frustrated our friend Harry, who was unable to accomplish his mission for the day.

So without the boy noticing him, Harry hurried back to the closet and back to the factory to be punished and scolded for not completing his mission to scare the kids that day.

And that was my 5 minute story for today.
