There Are Monsters Everywhere

As our story begins, a young boy is living in a house filled with scary monsters that his parents just don't see. There are monsters in the bathroom when he's taking a shower and there are monsters outside by the garbage can. There are especially monsters hiding in his bedroom and he sleeps on the top bunk because Dad says the monsters are afraid to climb up the ladder to get up there.

Monsters are ruling his world until he decides he's had enough of being afraid. He signs up for karate lessons and let me tell you those monsters are in for it now. He can break a board with his bare hand and he has a really ferocious karate kick. After those lessons, this guy isn't afraid to take out the garbage, isn't afraid to go down into the basement, and he's now sleeping on the bottom bunk. How about you? Do you have monsters at your house too?
