TW: Bullying

This was a unique story that dealt with the sensitive topic of bullying. It discussed how people resort to bullying even if they don't want to in the first place and how humans typically bully another person just because we think they are" weird" or "different".

The metaphor of the monster in this story was also genius. It shows us how we put on masks and embrace different personas whenever we are in denial or are pressured to become different from our true selves because we are afraid to become ostracized. It will make you think about whether a person with ill intent underneath in broad daylight is much scarier than a monster who lurks at night.

"Not even a monster has the power to take back words that have already flown from its mouth."
