Disclaimer: I don't own X-men;
Every child is afraid of monsters. It's inside their closets, it's under their beds, hiding in the dark.
But, I knew, the worst monsters are the ones inside of you.
They could control you; they whisper you threats; they know your weaknesses; they know how to break you, they are inside your heart, they're in your mind.
And nobody knows. Nobody believes.
I was alone. No one to turn to.
And the monsters are gaining on me.
It will be slow, cruel.
They'll kill me. I know it.
Pain makes it better, but it doesn't make it go away.
Sideways, not upwards. I don't have the guts.
And yet, somehow, I would lose.
They'll kill me, one day. I know it.
But I wouldn't make it easy. I'm gonna fight them.
I'll slay the monsters. One by one. It's going to be my end. It'll run me dry.
But I'm gonna do it.
One.
By.
One.
