Fantasy is better

than reality

One day, I was wondering around the city when I was scared by a monster.

I didn’t know he was feeling lonely because he was a monster...

... He had no friends at all and he only tried to scare people to forget his loneliness, I decided to talk to him and then he told me his story...

...he told me that he lived in darkness...

...that he had no one to talk to, but he still prefferred to be a monster when he tought about the human children who did not get any love and felt an emptiness in their lives...

...on many dark nights he tried to see wha the human children were doing, so he transformed himself into a human boy and he discovered what it was like to dream and he liked the idea that humans have of believing that it is possible to love...

...but he was afraid of the dark side of humans. Humans can be mean to each other, some like to bully others and they are so evil that they like to see others suffering...

... I told him that it is true, we humans live in a crazy world...

...and that we too feel alone, but we love being humans, because we can swap from reality to a world of fantasy whenever we want and fantasy is better than reality...
