Who's the real Monster?
"You're right, I don't understand". Shaking my head I said "I don't understand why you made that call seconds after me waking up. I don't understand why you would betrayed your barely dead sister like that. I don't understand why you didn't tell me to run. Instead you took one look at me and decided that I was a threat that needed to be taken care of. I also don't understand why you or someone you work for took the one thing that could give me what I've always wanted in life away."

Ego Sum Pt. 1
Marion Trafford had lived what could be described as a simple life. Average. Typical. His weeks were all the same, consisting of office work - days from nine to five - and weekends that were less than stellar. The man wasn’t one to go out, instead spending weekends tucked away in his own home, skimming through his collection of nondescript novels or watching a typical sitcom.

Violet Odyssey: Chapter 10
As I passed by the skywalk overlooking the lobby, a number of uniformed faces locked onto me from below. The security detail in the atrium had increased significantly. Hands tightened around rifles as a pack of combat-dressed soldiers muttered to one another, too far below for me to hear. But their gestures in my direction weren’t comforting.

Who's the real Monster?. Content Warning.
Drive faster dad!! I woke up from my reoccurring nightmare. I thought I was finally done with those. Groggily sitting up I saw that the fire had died down, everyone was still asleep, and the moon was high in the sky. Turning my head to see both Ed and Matt were close by. I'm glad that neither one of them were startled awake. Good thing they didn't try to sleep cuddle me. Not like I would let that happen Nightmare butted in.

Who's the real Monster?
After scarfing down a few more sandwiches followed by a bottled coke Ed found Nightmare told me Ok maybe I like Ed a little as long as he keeps feeding me . "Thanks Ed" I told them. Deciding that I should have enough energy to stand I leapt off the counter. "I'm glad you're feeling better" he said. Suppressing a belch Nightmare asked me What is this feeling and why do I like it? I replied It's called 'being full', it's what you feel when you're no longer hungry. It's a good feeling that amplifies when you're with good company.

Who's the real Monster?. Content Warning.
Walking away from the door I had to lean against the wall. My body felt worn out. Guess the adrenaline is finally subsiding I thought. Thankful that no one is around to see me look weak I took a few deep breathes. Centering myself Nightmare told me softly You're not a monster.
