“The – the thing is,” continued Stitch Head, “I’ve spent my almost-life curing you of your – your monstrous ways … soothing your savagery … removing your rage … mending your madness. But now I need you to remember who you were before the remedies and the tonics and the cures – to be the ferocious, untamed monstrosities you were made to be … to be wicked and feral and terrifying … to be fierce and fearsome and ferocious … I need you … to pretend to be monsters. Who’s with me?”

There was a long, awkward silence. Then:

“Me, be monstrous?” said a creation constructed entirely from vital organs. “I don’t think I have the guts for it.”

“I just can’t see myself being vicious,” noted a flying eyeball. “Now, if you needed a decorative scatter cushion making, it’d be a different matter…”

“I really prefer fishing to ferocity…” said a brain on wheels.

The creations continued to make their excuses. Before long, some even began to disperse.

“B-but I need your help! Please!” Stitch Head begged. “Dotty Dauntless is going to take the Creature!”

A hush fell over the room. Then:

“The Creature? Well, why didn’t you say so before, dear chap?” came a cry.

“I’d do anything for the Creature!” said another. “You couldn’t ask for a finer creation!”

“The Creature sang at our wedding!”

“It gave us marriage counselling!”

“The Creature brought me out of my shell through amateur dramatics!”

“It’s the best after-dinner speaker I’ve ever known!”

“How can we help? Tell us, do!”

“Huh,” said Arabella, putting her hat back on as the noise grew louder. “I didn’t see that coming.”
