The Sweetest Monster
People always assumed that dangerous people looked dangerous.
They expected cold eyes.bAngry faces. Bloodstained hands. They expected monsters to be obvious, maybe that's why people rarely recognized them.
The most dangerous people didn't need to look frightening.
Sometimes, they smiled at you. Sometimes, they remembered your birthday. Sometimes, they held your hand while you cried and told you everything was going to be okay. Sometimes, they were the sweetest person in the room.
That morning, I wore a white dress.
