Twist: monster is good boi and telling the truth that he’s tired. He sick of sleeping alone in woods, and jus wants a night on the comfy couch

Poor sadboi go back to his lonely, dirty cave, fall sleep crying, wake up with back pain :(

Monsters these days expect everything handed to them, back in my day they had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and earn a night on a couch!

I liked From, but it's basically Lost with night-monsters, and there's nothing new about monsters/vampires requesting permission to enter

There's also Philip K. Dick's classic short story, The Father-Thing.
