“life before the monster”

“Don't Stop...down,...Down there...down where...monsters,...Run!”

“Funny thing about the monster. The worse he treats you, the more you love him.”

“When you live afraid of your neighbor, the monster you should most walk in terror of thrives.”

“We used to do coke, till "Just Say No" put the stuff out of reach. Now it's crank. Meth. The monster. It's a bitch on the body, but damn do you fly.”

“Six months since we met upagain we are inseparable,an intricate weave.No longer do I believethis is a temporary fling.More like total commitment.More like I have walkeddown the aisle, holding hands with the monster.”

“The monster likes to talk; he jumps into your head and opens your mouth, making it spout your deepest darkest deceptions. Making you say all the things you'd rather not say, at least not in mixed company." (Ellen Hopkins)”
