Under My Bed

Daddy there's a monster under my bed! No... Silly girl... You have been misled... But daddy I hear it breathing! I know it's real! Dear, you know your cries are my Achilles' heel... Please come and look! I am so scared! OK I'll look! I can't have you despaired... Daddy why do you stare under my bed so long? Honey you were right, and I was wrong! Indeed there IS a monster under your bed! Child when will you realize that your daddy is dead?!
