Morris is a monster.
Dropped by his parents whilst migrating in the middle of a storm, before he can be snatched back up he is collected by a blind human couple. The two, unable to have children of their own, take him in and raise the ugly and abnormally hairy child as their own.
Now Morris finds himself heading off to school, growing up, and finding love. But what will it take for him to be noticed by the girl of his dreams? And how will his true parents fare trying to reclaim their rightful son from his new human parents?
A darkly funny and somewhat gruesome short story all about love, loss, bullying and acceptance.
MORRIS THE MISFIT MONSTER is a 6,000 word short story, and comes bundled with 6 poems, including THE MOUSE KINGDOM, SIBLING RIVALRY, STUART’S FINGERS, IN ONE EAR, HARRY THE FISH and BRIAN’S BORED OF BREAKFAST.
