Open the door
Check
Under the bed
Or else
No, I’m too tired. I’m sure I will be fine if I don-
Or else.
Make sure
That the closet door is
Firmly
Closed.
Or else…
This is ridiculous. How is today different from any other day? I’m not getting up to shut that stupid-
You have shut that door
every
other
day
And were fine.
So shut the door.
Or else

No.
What do you
Mean?
No?
No.
You are jinxing yourself.
You have sealed
Your fate.
Something
Terrible
Will happen.
This is
Exhausting.
No.
I will be
Fine.

I really love how you've connected the "monster under the bed," threatening to harm you if you don't check under the bed and shut the closet door, with that nagging, anxious voice telling you to doublecheck something/telling you that something is wrong or that you're forgetting something. It's a perfect analogy (and funny too!)!
