Monster and the Moon

 Monster and the Moon


Once upon a time, in a mysterious forest hidden beyond the edge of the world, there lived a little monster named Momo. Unlike the big, scary monsters in stories, Momo was small and fluffy, with round ears and bright yellow eyes that glowed like lanterns in the dark. But poor Momo had one big problem—he was terribly afraid of the dark.

Every night, when the sun disappeared and the shadows stretched long, Momo would curl up in his cozy cave, trembling. He wished there was a way to chase away the darkness so he could play and explore like the other creatures in the forest.

One evening, as Momo peeked out of his cave, he noticed something glowing in the sky. It was round and silvery, shining brighter than anything he had ever seen.

“What is that?” Momo wondered aloud.

“That’s the Moon,” said a soft voice. Momo turned to see Luna, a friendly owl perched on a nearby branch. “The Moon lights up the night sky and keeps the dark from feeling so scary.”

Momo’s eyes widened. “Do you think the Moon would help me? I want to play at night without being afraid.”

Luna hooted thoughtfully. “The Moon loves making friends. If you want its help, you’ll need to visit it. But the Moon lives high in the sky, far above the tallest trees.”

Momo’s little heart sank. “I’m too small to reach the sky.”

Luna fluffed her feathers. “Don’t worry, Momo. I’ll help you.”

With Luna’s guidance, Momo began his adventure. First, they climbed the tallest mountain in the forest. The journey was steep and tiring, but Momo didn’t give up. When they reached the top, they found a sparkling river that seemed to flow upward into the sky.

“This is the Moon River,” Luna explained. “It will take you to the Moon. But you’ll need a way to float.”

Momo looked around and spotted some large, fluffy clouds resting on the mountain peak. With Luna’s help, he shaped a cloud into a little boat. Carefully, Momo stepped inside, and the Moon River carried him up, up, up into the night.

As Momo floated higher, the stars began to twinkle around him, and he felt their gentle warmth. Finally, he reached the Moon. It was even more beautiful up close, with a glowing surface that seemed to sparkle like silver dust.

“Hello, little one,” the Moon said, its voice soft and kind. “What brings you here?”

Momo took a deep breath. “I’m afraid of the dark. I want to be brave and explore the night, but it’s so scary without light.”

The Moon’s glow brightened. “Ah, I see. The dark can be frightening, but it’s also full of wonders. Let me give you a gift.”

The Moon reached out with a gentle beam of light and touched Momo’s chest. Suddenly, Momo’s yellow eyes glowed even brighter, casting a warm light around him.

“Now you carry the Moon’s light with you,” the Moon said. “Whenever you feel afraid, remember that you are never truly alone. The stars, the night, and I are always with you.”

Momo’s heart filled with courage. He thanked the Moon and floated back down the Moon River to the forest, where Luna was waiting.

From that night on, Momo wasn’t afraid of the dark anymore. He explored the forest under the stars, lighting the way with his glowing eyes. The other creatures admired his bravery and often joined him on his nighttime adventures.

And every so often, Momo would look up at the sky, smile, and wave to his friend, the Moon, who always shone back brightly.

The Forgotten Lullaby

**The Forgotten Lullaby**    Every night, just as I drift into the quiet embrace of sleep, a faint melody fills my room. A soft, sorrowful lullaby, played by an old music box. But there's one problem... I don’t own a music box. At first, I dismissed it as a trick of my mind, a sound born from the edge of dreams. But last night, the melody grew louder, pulling me from sleep. My heart pounded as I sat up, scanning the dimly lit room. Then, I saw it—a small wooden box resting on my nightstand, where nothing had been before. I reached out with trembling fingers and lifted the lid. The melody poured out, wrapping around me like a forgotten memory. But as the gears turned, something else happened. The air shifted, and the shadows in the room deepened. My reflection in the mirror wavered, and for a moment, I wasn’t looking at myself—I was looking at someone else. A girl with wide, sorrowful eyes. Her lips moved soundlessly as if she were trying to speak, but no words came. Then, t...

The House That Remembers

  The House That Remembers "Some houses forget. This one never did." When Elise Bradford inherited her uncle’s estate in the quiet town of Black Hollow, she didn’t know she was inheriting something far older than bricks and wood. The house had been abandoned for twenty-seven years, standing like a stubborn relic among the green hills, forgotten by everyone but itself. She arrived one gray morning, rain chewing on her windshield, the GPS blinking out just as the house came into view. A three-story Victorian beast, draped in ivy and time. Its windows looked like dead eyes. The gate hung broken, as if even it had given up trying to keep things in… or out. Elise laughed nervously as she grabbed her suitcase. “Well,” she said to no one. “Home sweet home.” The front door opened with a groan that seemed to echo from the earth itself. The smell hit her first—mold, rust, and something beneath it… something familiar. She brushed it off. Old houses always smelled weird. The flo...

The Last Broadcast (Final Part)

  The Last Broadcast (Final Part) The Tennessee Safe Zone wasn't what Sarah had imagined. Not a fortress or military compound, but a university campus converted to a makeshift community. Chain-link fences topped with barbed wire encircled the perimeter, watchtowers constructed from scaffolding and plywood stood at strategic points. Armed guards—some military, most civilian volunteers—patrolled day and night. Three weeks had passed since their arrival. Three weeks of sleeping in a repurposed dormitory room, standing in ration lines, and avoiding the gazes of other survivors who carried the same haunted look Sarah saw in her own reflection. "Mommy, look!" Emma tugged at Sarah's sleeve, pointing toward the cafeteria garden where volunteers tended rows of vegetables under the late spring sun. "Miss Chen is teaching the kids again." Captain Gloria Chen—whose steady voice had guided them here—stood surrounded by a dozen children, demonstrating how to plant tom...
