I took a stroll along the forest. Long twisted trees surrounded me. 
“Do not go into the forest.” The people say.
“There’s a monster there.” They say.
I’m not scared of monsters. Why would I be? I don’t think monsters are out to hurt us. I continued walking until I came to the part of the forest and felt eyes staring at me. There it was. The monster. Looking down at me. It’s mouth opened and I looked up at it, in awe and in fear.
“Who are you? And how did you get here?” The monster and I asked each other at the same time.
