While Fiona was away with the kids Shrek got very lonely. He stared out the window of his stump house and frowned in away only Shrek could. His ears grew limp and fell to the sides of his head and tears started rolling down his cheeks. He did what he always did when he was depressed, go to Hot Topic. Shrek then got on his really cool fire painted skate board and skated down to the village doing some pretty sweet wheelies as he went. But he ran over one of the blind mice which made him even more depressed.
Finally Shrek got into town and was greeted with the familiar sight, people pointing at him and whispering. Even after marrying the princess of the land Shrek still was treated like an outcast and was hardly ever welcomed to town.
"Be careful kids ogres cannot be trusted," a bearded man said to his son and daughter. "They will swoop in and rob you blind." He noticed that Shrek was getting closer and quickly shuffled out of the way. Shrek frowned even further trying not weep the tears that were building up.
"What a gross animal, I don't even get why ogres are like even treated like people. I mean they're so f-ing ugly god." A basic young woman said to her friends, while sitting in front of Starbucks with pumpkin spice lattes. Shrek tried to cover his ears but he still heard them laughing as he skated by. 'Okay Shrek you'll only be in town for a little while longer so just...keep it together, kay?' But the pain still carried with him as he continued to Hot Topic.
He finally turned onto the street in which Hot Topic was on and nearly ran over a little girl. "Mommy!" The little girl screamed. "A fat smelly monster almost killed me." Quickly a woman grabbed the girl's hand and yanked her away from Shrek shooting a disgusted look over her shoulder.
"I'm so sorry," Shrek began. "I did't see her around the corner, It was an accident really." Holding up his hands meaning that he meant no harm.
"Yeah, well maybe next time you should be paying attention ogre." The lady snapped back continuing her on her way pulling the wailing child along with her. Shrek hung his head in shame, blocking his face with his hands so the world didn't have to see the horrible monster that he was.
Finally he got to Hot Topic and went inside, hoping that this would lessen his misery. He quickly made his way over to the make up section and picked out a bottle of black nail polish, black lipstick, and some black mascara. He remembered the last time he wore mascara, he ended up crying himself to sleep with it on. He then got a new long black wig that could fit over his ears and eyes, he needed a new one because he dyed his last one a color that wasn't edgy enough. Finally after checking out the t-shirts he decided to pick out a Twenty-one pilots one because it was his favorite band. Finally after waiting in a long depressing line for checkout he made it to the counter. The cashier was wearing a Nightmare Before Christmas shirt, suspenders, and a crap ton of collectable pins. 'Fucking casual,'Shrek thought to himself. 'She doesn't even understand our culture.'But at the counter he found some cool fake lip piercings so he bought those too.
"Please come again," The cashier said flashing a fake smile. Shrek nodded his head and made his way out the door, back out to civilization, back to to...suffering.
