The Beast
It is a dark creature who lurks in the corners of our minds
Prowling and growling to scare away sweet dreams and happy memories.
It is everywhere, yet nowhere to be found.
It savors misery.
It craves and consumes the horrors of children, haunting them from closed closets and beneath beds.
It will stalk you your entire life, following you, hiding in the background.
You swear you see it, only to exchange paranoia with doubt.
But the creature is there.
It is real.
Not a figment of your imagination.
It is impossible for any man to imagine a cruel beast with such twisted intentions!
It takes ahold of us all, in one way or another.
But in the end…
Only you are capable of taming the beast that dwells within you.
Because fear is a horrible creature that has mercy on no one.
