Monster-Emily

My tears have stopped but I still feel pain for him. A child should never have to witness something so gruesome. It's to know that he was tossed aside. I am happy that someone showed him some care. I can't imagine what it's like to lose the only family you have though. I'm glad that I still have my mom even if I don't have the chance to see her that often.

I push my head deeper into his chest as I wait for him to speak once more. I know there is more to the story. When he described the man I couldn't help the fear that overcame me. His description of the monster was spot on. Even though I know some parts of the story now I still want to hear the rest. I want to see if there is something that I have missed. To know if the arms of another monster have now become my comfort.
