Monster.
It's just a word to most people. A word that describes something, or someone that is evil, cruel and abnormal. Something that is considered mythical, not real. Part of the imagination. A word children are scared of when they ask their parents to look under their beds or in their closets.
Monster is a word.
Monster means so much more.
To Patton, the words Monster describes him. It makes him feel dirty, ugly and evil. It makes him feel absolutely disgusted at himself for something he can't help being.
To Virgil, the word Monster means Monster. It's just a word to him. He has learned to live with how people view him. Virgil has learned to deal with his demons.
Patton on the other hand... is exactly what the word means.
