I dropped the knife and dived at the lamp, bringing it crashing to the floor beneath me just as the time-switch clicked.

The lampshade collapsed. I felt the bulb suddenly warm beneath my stomach as it lit up.

“Cherry! Get the plug!” I said, but she was way ahead of me. There was a click from the wall, and then she said,

“OK, Jack – it’s off.”

I rolled off the lamp and stood up. Bernard was still there, hanging from the wall, grinning at me.

And not looking at all scary.

In fact . . .

“Are you sure you’re a monster?” Cherry asked suspiciously.

Bernard scowled. He still didn’t look scary.

“OK, OK,” he growled. “Just because you saved my life doesn’t mean you can take the mickey.”

We looked at him, unable to believe what we were seeing. He sighed.

“All right,” he said. “Here’s how it works. Monsters are born from the fears of children. So if a child is scared – really scared – of spiders and snakes, then a monster might be born down here with, say, the head of a snake and the legs of a spider.”
