Mortal Monsters

STORY

2035. Winter.

The monsters are told to board the M train, as they have no idea what to expect. They were just relieved to be safe from the Avalanche. The train conductor greets them all with a tip of his hat. Glad to see you all made it out safely. The cranium caves collapsed out of nowhere! With eyes opened wide with both worry and excitement, the monsters question where they’re going to one another. We’re going to a place called Mortal Monster Lodge, says our friend, Terror.

For years the humans have been steadily wrecking our home, and blaming us for all the unease in their minds.. Maybe the Mortal Monster Lodge is where we’ve belonged all this time.

I look out the window and see us passing through a city with so much life! We take a slight turn to go up a hill and then I hear, “here we are, everyone!” declares the conductor. Home sweet home! An angelic group of creatures who resemble us all stand and wait with smiles. Our welcoming committee!

Welcome to the lodge, they say, as we gesture behind them to the sprawling building. Through its colorful windows, we see other monsters: some in yoga class, others play board games and chuckle together, some in a jacuzzi! The place looks even more inviting than home ever did.

Finally a place where there’s no stigmas associated with monsters in your mind.

Welcome to the lodge, indeed. Your journey awaits.
