it shifts into your greatest fears. it glides, like water, inside you. it stays there for a while until it can morph into something bigger. as long as it stays in your mind, it can only get stronger. it doesn’t look as good as in the movies. you don’t appear braver after facing one of them. instead, you cower in fear even more. and you’ll swear you’ll never do it again. you feel betrayed. and scared. but it’s what it feeds on the most — fear. what it was born from is what it craves. it’s the manifestation of all the negative things inside your head, with the side effect of all that could’ve killed you.
this is your monster.
