Harry hurried down the hallway and entered his daughter's room. He approached the bed where she sat crying.
"Hey now, what's with all the screaming, love?"
"Wan' momma!" she wailed.
"Mum's gone, but Daddy's here," he scooped her up into his arms, and rocked her gently. "What happened?"
"Pony-Monkey monsters chase me, Daddy," she explained, snuffling.
"But you like ponies and monkeys, baby."
"I don't like monsters, Daddy!" she exclaimed.
"Alright, I'm sorry." He sat down in the rocking chair, and she snuggled into him. "Want a story?"
"One about momma, please?"
"Of course. . .Once there was a little girl. . ."

Additional Author's Notes: Ginny's just gone somewhere overnight, she's not dead or anything.
Jonathan Coulter owns the song "Skull Crusher Mountain" which includes these lyrics:
"I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much"
It's a great song, you should check it out!!
