A one-shot I thought up bored at 4:15 AM. Just thought it'd be cool. L8rs!

A Monster Is
Sam Winchester sat at his desk, staring at his assignment sheet from his 7th grade history teacher. He wished it would disappear into thin air. Poof. The assignment was, taking into account Adolf Hitler's impact on the world, his monstrous behavior as a dictator, and the overall impact of World War II, what is a monster?
Sam sat. Thinking. Thinking. Thinking. Usually he'd brainstorm on paper to look back at his ideas, organize his train of thought, but this time…this time he just…wrote.
A Monster Is:
Written by Samuel Winchester
If you ask three blind men to feel an elephant and tell you what it is, the one who feels a leg says the elephant is a pillar, the one who feels the tail says the elephant is a rope, the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is a tree branch. If you ask people, "What is a monster?" you will get a similar response, not because they are looking at different parts of the same monster. Most can agree, when a true monster makes itself known that it is indeed a monster. You will get different responses because some may give you different traits or qualities that they consider to be monstrous and may doubt whether a monster is in fact monster at all when faced with one.
In World War II, Adolf Hitler's bid for territorial conquest and racial subjugation caused the deaths of 43 million people, including the methodical genocide of upwards of six million Jews as well as further "undesirables" in what is known as the Holocaust. He created death camps, for human beings to work themselves to death, the worst of which was Auschwitz, a camp that had the slogan over the entrance, "Work will set you free." And when they did not work themselves to death, they were systematically killed off, by the tens, hundreds, thousands, until bodies of people that had been breathing, speaking, laughing, crying, just a short time before lay defeated and broken, dead, in mass graves.
If that is not a monster, then I don't know what is.
