Monsters

The beast walked in together, the crowd was small at first then they came in droves their eyes showed the thirst they felt. They thirsted for it, craved it, and came for it. They never would be seen together if not for the thirst. The never quenching thirst the steeled in their bellies and burned their throat. I hid, for such ghouls made my heart race and my hands sweat. I was in a fear coated glaze, how will I survive? Me, such a weak fickly girl, in this room of ghouls and monsters, how will I make it out with my breath in my bosom? I have no chance; they were grunting and squealing, talking their way, to one another. I have no salvation in this nightmarish place. But not only monsters dwelled here, the vengeful fairy and hating princess, Axe murderers and the untamed. Not one noticed me, I thank my lucky gods. My nightmares seemed all too real in this room of danger. Oh, how shall I ever survive, my mind wails to me. I know not, for I am just as at loss as you! I wail to it. But there was a break of light in the dark sea, a shining light coming from one being. In he walked. His shimmer reached me, in my hidden corner, drawing my out. His smile reassured me, I am safe, there was nothing to fear. He was my protector, nothing more, my savior, nothing less. The thirst quenching music rose in the speakers rose up, and the monsters pushed and pulled, punched and smacked. They were wild and untamed, but just then, at their most ghoulish, most terrifying moments they transformed, no longer were they wild monsters, no longer were they hideous ghouls come to take my soul, they were people. Children, adults, but just like me, but they were not afraid of their difference, and I must let me show. So in this new meaning, I let myself become what I had so feared, I became the monsters, I became the people, I became myself and I could breathe.

    Are you sure you wrote this? :P

    It’s… creepy, but I kind of like it, because it starts out all, lemme-think-about-what-my-horrible-problems-are, and then it leaves with, I had to change to fit in… *makes face* Is there more to this? Or is it just… a short thing?

    well, I’m just keeping it a short thing, so you all can enjoy the shortness of it all. I like it how it is, and she didn’t change, she let herself show… read the end, I became me,and I could breathe. just became herself.
