Write a short story where humans are the mythical beings.

Monsters and the “Humans”

There was a Mothman with his little son walking in the woods

Having a nice walk

Saying hello to everyone around the park

To those who walk on land or in water


They waved to the Bigfoot family going by

Bigfoot was shy but still waved

Yeti looked angry and aloof but still nodded his head

The Yowie smiled and tipped his Akubra to them while adjusting his oilskin jacket


The Skunk Ape was wearing some cool shades

Waved at them while holding a surfboard

And stinking up the whole forest

The big feet were fine with


The Boggy Creek Monster looked scary

With his veiny, red eyes staring at them

While eating a big kabob

Made out of pigs and dogs


The Hibagon looked very shy

More shy than Bigfoot

As it turned to hide in its seigaiha kimono

But still waved at them nonetheless


The Mapinguari nodded his head

As he let many macaws, toucans, and parrots sit on his back

Until he saw a crow try to come by

He scared it away using his terrifying roar and awful stench


The Yeren was not with the family today

He mostly only wants to come with them at night

But the Orang Pendek was there

Being only on the ground


He almost trips and falls

From the Boggy Creek Monster, who aggressively chuckled

He got angry, picked up a rock, and threw it

Right in the Boggy Creek Monster’s face


The Orang Pendek panicked when Boggy looked back

With his intense stare

He instantly went back to his territory

Feeling good about how he wouldn’t get attacked


They waved to the Chupacabras

Who were sucking blood out of a goat

Like how you would suck a straw for a drink

Quite a tasty one


They waved to the Lizard Man

Chilling in the swamps

Being messy and filthy

Yet still cool


They waved to the Jersey Devil

Flying up high and quickly

Screaming a high-pitched, blood-curdling scream

They both don’t know if she’s like that from being a monster or a New Jersey one




They walked around the lake

They waved to the Kraken and the Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster popped its head out of the water

Got one of its fins up to greet them


And at the same time

The Kraken came out of the water

Got out all of its tentacles to greet them, too

Then the Krakens and the Loch Ness Monster’s kids came jumping out of the water


All greeting them as well

Two of them look like Nessie, having two of the Kraken’s big tentacles

On their sides

And their backs have many small tentacles


Two of them look like the Kraken with their heads

But have a lot of Nessie’s fins and body

Instead of tentacles

The family got back under the water, going back home


The Mothman’s son decided to stop walking with his dad

He decided instead to fly around the woods

He did so very quickly

He asked his dad a question


“Dad, what happened to “humans?”

His dad laughed

“Oh, son, humans aren’t real

They’re make-believe, so there’s nothing to be scared of”


“I’m not scared of humans, Dad"

I find them quite interesting

Maybe I could be friends with one, someday”

His dad laughed again


“Oh, Daniel, I love you

Your open-mindedness, your heart

Your smarts and so on

But humans are made up, Daniel


They were made up to trick people

Into believing such frivolous things do exist

So they could be famous, get attention

It’s honestly sick


I mean, now, son

That’s like trying to say Mothmen aren’t real

Even though they are

Isn’t it silly to say that something exists, even though it doesn't exist?”


The Mothmen stared at each other

As the forest was starting to burn all around them

With everyone in the park from the Bigfeet to the Chupacabras

Running out of there very quickly


“Why do y’all think we were here?

That we wouldn’t want to bring any destruction?”

“Wait, Dad, is this another work thing”

“Yes, sorry, Daniel, but my job of bringing such chaos just pays too well”


The Mothman’s son flew back down

Lowered his head and had red eyes

Looking disappointed

“Hey, do you wanna go back home and eat dog and rabbit stew?


Your favorite!”

The son looked up at his dad

And excitedly got back up in the air

“Yeah, alright! Race you home, Dad!”


The son flies back to his home

The Mothman was also flying, chasing him down

Both were flying VERY quickly back to their home

They were also laughing the whole way
