Monsters
Do you
believe in monsters? Do you believe in the ghosts of tales told around the
campfires of families so oblivious to the real horrors of the world? Because
you shouldn’t. The real monsters of the world are ten times more terrifying
than any concoction of the mind, and ten times as deadly.
These
monsters also lurk within us. Biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment
to strike. Just waiting, waiting for their opportunity to kill and devour the
victim which had so long harbored them. They attack without warning, and it
could be triggered by anything. A bad day, a bad morning even. But they do
attack.
Everybody
has one. Everybody has a monster lurking within them, seeking out their weakest
moments like a shark to blood and destroying the chain that maintains us. Be it
our anger, our sadness, our anything, they will attack.
They have
the capacity to destroy the lives of countless people. Yet they settle for
destroying one, maybe two people in most cases. Granted, in some cases they
will go all out and destroy the lives of more, but rarely do they destroy the
lives of all that they are capable of.
One day, the
monster will come out. Be it in the form of rage, depression, addiction, it
will come out. It will come out in you, it will come out in me. The monsters
aren’t ten foot tall creatures, no, the monsters? The monsters are everybody.
The monsters are every living soul on this planet.
And that is
perhaps the scariest thought of all.
