Monster Hunters, Jess and Paula Meet Manny the Monster

By Nate Feldman

It is almost twilight, and Jess and Paula, the Monster Hunters, are walking through a dense part of the woods.  They are trying to get Manny the Monster to become a part of their Monster Preserve.  

Paula: We'll be there in any minute.  His cabin is just around the corner. 

Jess: And remind me, what is the best way to lure this creature?

Paula: Let me do the talking.  I can understand Monsterese a bit.  

Jess: If you say so.  But, this isn't any ordinary monster.  Eight people have vanished without a trace in this area.  People are pretty sure Manny is responsible.  It's hard to ignore the chronic violence the community has been facing.

Paula: We have to take a chance dialoguing with him.  People typically panic around monsters as I am sure you know by now.  They get totally stressed out!  We've both agreed that dialogue is the best way to transform a savage monster into a more docile one.

Suddenly, Manny the Monster appears on the right side.  He stares at Jess and Paula.  The two girls freeze.

Desert Demons and the Magic Torch

By Nate Feldman

Chapter 1

The first time Jackson Cohen attempted to re-connect with his long estranged cousin Nora couldn't have possibly gone any worse.  He approached her at a cafe where she was having lunch with friends, only to have her make a scene, swearing she had no idea who he was and demanding he leave before she called the police.  

The two had been inseparable from childhood into their teenage years.  They were adventurous, imaginative, and both had felt misunderstood by their families.  Nevertheless, an ongoing feud between their parents (Nora's father had never approved of Jackson's father's marriage to his mother, his sister) had led to them no longer communicating.

Monster Hunters, Introduction



By Nate Feldman 

It is the Halloween season, so there are many monsters coming out in different areas.  You can find them in the streets and on people's properties.  Jess and Paula, two young entrepreneurs, have come up with an idea to solve this problem.  They have created a new business: Monster Hunters.  


For only $20, if you call Jess or Paula, they can come to your place and help remove the monsters from the vicinity.  Jess and Paula are both very experienced in dealing with monsters, and they guarantee that if they are unable to remove the monster, that you don't have to pay them anything.  

The girls, however, are adamant about one thing: they are not running this business to kill monsters.  In fact, they are trying to save them by preventing bloodshed between them and humans.

"We are convinced that there is a place for both humans and monsters in this world," Jess says.  

"We've both been around a long time and will continue to be here," adds Paula, referring to the two species.  

For this reason, Jess and Paula have a second business they are running: The Monster Preserve.  This is an area where monsters can live with one another and don't have to interact with humans.  They can live in their own environment.  Also for $20, humans can come and visit the Monster Preserve and see their favorite kinds of creatures: gremlins, witches, goblins, ghouls, werewolves, and vampires just to name some.  

For passionate monster lovers in the human community, they give people who want to sponsor a monster at the preserve an opportunity to do so for $200 a year.  These people can come and get one-on-one time with their favorite creature and help guarantee it is well-taken care of for years to come.

So, if you want to visit monsters, go to the Monster Preserve, and if you need monsters removed from your area, call the Monster Hunters.  They will make sure you have a spooktacular time this Halloween season!
