Monster

It echoes in my mind.
Monster. Monster. Monster.
They had to be joking.
They just had to be.
Monster. Monster. Monster.
I pinch my eyes together.
But the word burns itself there.
Monster. Monster. Monster.
"I'm not a monster!"
My voice echoes into the vast darkness.
I fall to my knees.
Monster. Monster. Monster.
"I'm not a monster..."
I draw my knees against my chest.
My throat tickles. I feel the first tear trickle down my cheek.
Monster. Monster. Monster.
No. No. No.
"Broken. I'm just broken..."
No, you're a monster.
It's all you ever were.
Monster. Monster. Monster.

I'm going to be writing this story every day (from now on) for 10 minutes. This is the beginning.
