The monster looked back at Conor, waiting. What shall I destroy next? it asked,
stepping over to the second monster, and in a terrible blurring of the eyes, they merged together, making a single monster who was even bigger.
I await your command, boy, it said.
Conor could feel his breathing growing heavy again. His heart was racing and that feverish feeling had come over him once more.
He waited a long moment. Then he said, “Knock over the fireplace.”
The monster’s fist immediately lashed out and struck the stone hearth from its foundations,
the brick chimney tumbling down on top of it in a loud clatter.
Conor’s breath got heavier still, like he was the one doing the destroying.
“Throw away their beds,” he said. The monster picked up the beds from the two roofless bedrooms and flung them into the air,
so hard they seemed to sail nearly to the horizon before crashing to the ground.
“Smash their furniture!” Conor shouted. “Smash everything!”
The monster stomped around the interior of the house, crushing every piece of furniture it could find with satisfying crashes and crunches.
