Melvin Hour 7/8 Monster, Hour 8 This monster stands about 6' tall, with a medium-to-slender build. He walks upright on two purple legs. His green head is perfectly round with two pointed, elf-like ears. He has three red eyes ' two in the normal places, one right in the center of his forehead. His nose is round and shaped like a pig's. He has four rows of small, pointed teeth inside purple lips. His two snake-tongues poke out of the sides of his mouth. Occasionally, because his mouth hangs open, he drools down the side of his face. His hair is cut into a mohawk and is dyed to be the color of flames. Two curving, black horns appear on either side of his hairdo. His body and arms are orange with a light covering of feathers. There are also a number of unsightly bumps, warts and sores along his thin arms. His fingers are long and thin, and his left arm is adorned with several colorful bracelets. In his left hand he holds a large, blue eyeball. On his back is a turtle shell, from which sprout two large black wings. Behind him drags a blue dragon tail with a heart-shaped tip that looks as if it could be used to whip around and strike someone ' hard! He has two purple legs with large unshod feet. His three toes end in long, yellow toenails. Painful, sharp thorns, also purple in color, poke out of his knees, dripping what appears to be blood. He is dressed in a yellow tank top covered with pink polka dots. Below this, he sports a pair of white shorts decorated in a Hawaiian print of palm trees and sunshines. Right now, his thoughts are on the eyeball in his left hand. 'Now who dropped this in the middle of the hall? These kids today! So sloppy! No respect for a decent school environment. I never knew, when I accepted this job as a 6th-grade teacher, that my students would expect me to spend so much time picking up after them! I wish they'd learn better monster-manners at home!' Meanwhile, three young monsters hide around the corner
