Monster


Fiend. Villain. Abomination. An evil creature intent on harming others for its own pleasure or benefit.

Monsters are nightmares made solid. They look into our eyes and draw out fears, doubts and weaknesses. They challenge the faithful. And inspire the mighty to be heroes.

In stories they represent the darker aspects of societies, to be overcome and consolidated into the mainstream so that the majority may be comfortable with their lesser flaws. So that when people reflect on themselves, they see something better. Someone who compared to the monster, is good.

For there to be Light, there must be Shadow. To kill.
