I’m a monster DNA experiment and my beasts salivate at the thought of her. In my human life, I was a hardworking blue-collar man. And now I’m a monster. My anger is tenfold in this form. Yet I find a part of me that’s fragile and needs protecting. Every day, I turn to stone on her property to watch over her. At night, I let myself into her home. I find it impossible to stop myself. These things inside me roar knowing this woman is mine. I won’t let her be taken from me. Not when she’s all I have left. I watch. I stalk. I feast. I prey. I devour her when she has no idea. The invisibility of my new body works to my advantage. Until I see her scars. The love I pour into her is nothing compared to the hate I’ll give to him. She. Is. Mine. And all my beasts agree.
