Vanquish Monsters

Austin had a spider in his room and he kept calling me to get it, but every time I’d come, the spider would be gone. Finally, the spider escaped and Austin returned to his regularly scheduled gaming session. He decided to make his character look like me, but alas, his PS4 overheated and he moved on to watching Voyager. I headed off to bed.
Austin, kissing me goodnight: I’m sorry I couldn’t make you vanquish any monsters tonight.
Me: Oh trust me, you tried.
