Monster
Am I a monster? Who knows.
Once I was a happy go lucky man. I only worried about drinking, getting rich and surviving another day. Now that man is dead and I remain.
I met him that day. He called me a hero, managed to convince me that I was one and helped me discover that I couldn't be killed by mortal means. He pushed me into doing great duties and helped the girl I had always loved fall in love with me. As much as I hate to admit it, he was my first friend. So when he betrayed me it was even worst than her betrayal, much worse.
From that day on it was my goal in life to see him suffer. I saw the revolutions in France and America, saw the end of slavery in America, saw the end of the Shogunate period in Japan, lived though two world wars. All was minor in comparison to my eternal quest.
About fifty years a group of young people started together. Ones like him and I with powers. I led them. The silly children eating up my every word. Unfortunatly some of them started to get suspicious and put me in the company's jail. Fortunily I found out who his parents were.
Now you might ask why I didn't just kill him off in a jail. Hello? I was in a company jail for thirty years! Besides I wanted him to grow to love things and than take them away from him one by one just like he did to me. I wanted to see his face, usually so cheerful and hopeful contort with pain.
I have to go now. The grudge 400 years in the making must be settled. I wonder will he feel like Dr. Frankstein looking at the monster he created when he sees me?
Am I a monster? Judge for yourselves.
