I always thought my neighbor was a bit of a monster.
I had no idea how right I was.
When he gets into a fight with some of his friends, I can’t just stand by, though. I’m able to chase them off, but not before Zac is injured.
Injured enough that he can’t hide who he is anymore.
He’s not just a monster in my mind.
He’s a monster alien.
And maybe I don’t mind his being a monster after all…
