The monsters returned, from long ago, out of the dark. But this time, I did it. I turned the light on. I stood above them, and roared in their faces...that they did not hurt me, I would not give them that. Inside I knew, this was not true. I was hurt but will not cry. What help would it be, for me to rage, too much time has gone by. I turned the light on, and sent them on their way, wishing it had not taken me so long, sad for what I may have missed in this life, The wheel turns, every cog a new lesson. A long time for redemption, but I win.
