Of Men And Monsters Novels & Stories

A middle-aged man with a weary face looked directly at Andrew. "I support what she said." Andrew's eyes narrowed. The man continued. "There's nothing to gain from turning them into monsters." He pointed toward the factory below. "You've already created enough monsters. Those creatures down there are people who could have survived if you hadn't used them as shield to save yourself from monsters." The surrounding survivors lowered their heads. Many of them knew he was right. The man continued speaking. "How many more monsters do you plan to create? Isn't this enough already? Instead of hurting each other, we should be protecting one another."

With blood on his large mouth, Brett threw away the legs and arms he ripped off their bodies. “Um monstro! (A monster!)” one shouted after he witnessed the brutal massacre in front of him. He aimed his gun at Adam, but Adam climbed onto the wall very fast, as if flying onto the wind. In a flash, Adam got the man’s head and slashed its neck with his claws. Krrrk! Thud! They killed five men in less than 10 seconds. And the other men, who realized that their guns would not work on these monsters, turned around and ran.

The monsters fell one by one, but despite the men’s efforts, the sound of their guns attracted more monsters that swarmed in. "F*ck! There's a lot more than we anticipated! We're up against at least a thousand of these f*cking things!" someone yelled when he saw the army of monsters. "Let's light up ‘em then!" Padraig yelled. Grenades were thrown into the monster army, blowing them into pieces. The men were overcome by a frenzy of bloodlust. Padraig yelled, "Come and get some, you f*cking monsters! I will show none of you mercy!"

Then Dylan began to slowly release his grip. "Sir, are you not going to pick up the fruit you picked earlier? Are the fruits for yourself, or do you want to share with others? The fruits in the suburbs are indeed delicious, it's a shame that few dares to take it because of the many monsters lurking around during the day." The monsters here are mostly lurking around during the day when the sun comes up. Maybe it's because they have basic human features, that's why they hide at night. “I was so shocked when I heard a monster talk this afternoon! Isn't that their latest evolution, sir? We should be able to exterminate them sooner so they can't evolve!"

I have come too far to get caught now. I walked back into the bar and straight to the bar. “Give me a whiskey on the rocks and be quick about it,” I said to the bartender. He nodded and returned with my drink immediately. I slammed the drink and asked for another. Damn that woman. I needed to feed my monsters or there would be consequences.

Kenzie looked aghast as she said, “What are you talking about, Oscar? Are you trying to tell us that Snow is a werewolf?” Noah cleared his throat loud enough to grab the room’s attention. “What he’s trying to tell you is that he and I come from a lineage of unique humans who turn canine upon the full moon.” “Canine?” Kenzie repeated with confusion. “Like a werewolf?” I said with disbelief. “Not like a werewolf,” Noah replied, “but a werewolf.” I hopped to my feet and snarled, “Stop this right now. I don’t know what you’re up to, but this isn’t funny.”

"You're a hothead, Nicodra, and a fool." "Untrustworthy," he spits, "unstable... dangerous." "That may be so, but you're the one on your way out," I seethe and plunge the blade into his chest. He yells and coughs until blood spurts from his mouth and trails down his jaw. "It was your mistake-believing you were strong enough." He fights to make words, but the blood clogs his throat. "You're right. We are monsters, but not because we shift into ones, not because the wolf lives inside all of us. What you fear... it's the human."

Gideon speaks first, "Hello everyone! I'm so happy to see such a large turnout tonight. I want to tell you there are some things you will see tonight that some of you have only heard of. All I ask is that you keep an open mind and an open heart. We all share the same Earth, and we all live side by side. I want to introduce you to the couple that will guide you through the presentation tonight. They are amazing people who care about the Earth and its inhabitants, and they have spent the better part of their adult lives actively trying to make it better. Please allow me to introduce Damien and Abby Riggs." The building erupts in almost deafening applause, and the couple steps up to the microph

Even if it meant becoming a monster. Because in the end… monsters were just men who chose war over surrender. And I had never once surrendered.

But were all monsters bad? Contessa continued. “Josie wanted to protect you. We’ve all helped to do that, but one day you’ll need to grow up. Not all men are the same as Mr. Luciano or Dante. Those young men. I see the way they look at you. You’re not safe with them.” My neck stiffened with each of her words as a need to defend Reinaldo and Emiliano surfaced. “You are wrong about them.” “If Josie were here—”
