Who fights the monster under your bed?

This is our entry into the Warren Evans Competition to win a new bed. 
I think when we’re young we all have a protective teddy or toy. Whether it’s big, small, fluffy or just down right weird, it protects us from the evil under the bed. 
A large, menacing monster looms over a sleeping child, representing classic bedtime fears, while a small teddy bear wielding a wooden sword bravely stands guard on the bed, ready to fight the monster. The scene is dim and sepia-toned.

Thomas sleeps with his gorilla. It was one of my toys from when I was a child but when he was about 10 month old, we were sorting all our things out to throw away, I found the gorilla and was gunna chuck it but then Thomas took it. He wouldn’t give it back and would just sit cuddling it. 
A young child lies on a sofa under a white blanket, holding a dummy and cuddling a stuffed black gorilla toy, as if ready to fight the monster under your bed, with their head resting on a blue and brown patterned cushion.
He now keeps the gorilla on his bed, to keep away monsters. Many a night have I woke to hear growling and roars coming from Thomas’s bedroom, popping in I would find him hanging over the edge of his bed thrusting Bagwell (I don’t have a clue where his name came from lol) under to make the monsters run for their lives. 
He loves it and as long as it’s protecting my boy, it can stay with him.
