So okay, I’m a monster.

But look what I have to deal with–my brother is a frightened little freak, my father is selfish and ill-tempered, my mother is an ignorant doormat and my friends are just plain irritating. And I’m in a prison surrounded by them all, with nowhere to escape.

People insist on seeing the worst in me. So, I show them the worst.

But one day, something happens .. and suddenly I see what these relationships and people (however annoying), mean to me. I’ve been a monster for such a long time now, I’ve almost forgotten what its like to be human.

What if it’s too late?
