Mysteries
Koneko peered into her parent's bedroom, biting her lower lip. She wasn't supposed to disturb them once the lights were out, but she had a bad dream and couldn't get back to sleep now. Still, she wasn't sure if she wanted to wake her parents. At almost five, she was almost a big girl. There was movement somewhere in the room, and moments later, her father appeared in the doorway.
Koneko looked up at him. "Nightmare, Daddy."
He scooped her up in his arms, holding her against his chest. "It's all right, sweetheart."
She buried her head against his shoulder. Her father began to rock her gently. "Let's not wake your mommy, okay? Do you remember what the nightmare was about?"
She shook her head. "Monster."
"Well, let's go make sure that there aren't any monsters in your bedroom."
Her daddy always knew how to get rid of monsters. Koneko didn't know if it was magic or alchemy or what, but for as long as she could remember, Daddy had always been able to banish any monsters lurking in her bedroom. Shifting her so she was perched on his hip, her father opened her bedroom door. Pale moonlight illuminated the room, but her father flipped on small lamp and set Koneko down on her futon.
"Now, let's see." He peered into her closet. "Ah, here's the problem."
For several moments there were noises coming out of the closet. Then her father pulled the closet door all the way open, so Koneko could see inside.
"There we go. I don't think he'll be back any time soon."
He shut the closet door and then tucked the girl back into bed.
"Sweet dreams, Koneko." He kissed her forehead and turned off the lamp.
Koneko closed her eyes and settled back into a peaceful sleep. Her daddy always knew how to get rid of the monsters, even if Koneko didn't know how he did it.
