Herman lived under a bed, in a nice little house, with a nice little girl named Sarah to scare, and he loved his work. The story of Herman, an under-the-bed monster who really just wants to find out who he is and where he belongs. The under the bed monsters, their job is sneaking around, making the floorboards creak, the shadows dance, and being unseen and quiet. Herman likes his work, he’s very good at it, but he doesn’t like being quiet. It bothers him that he has to be quiet all of the time. He watches the street monsters outside, you know, dancing, and singing, and partying all night. That’s what they do, they make the noises in the alleyways. He really wants to join them and finally he works up the courage to sneak out and join them. At first, he’s rejected, but he slowly works his way in. Then he has all sorts of misadventures. I’m going to leave what happens then. Something happens, I’ll just say that.”
