Monsters

Monsters.
Creating
monsters.
Incrementally.
Little by
little.
Generation
to the
next.
Subtle
changes.
Imperceptibly
moving
forward.
Building
one
on the
next.
Minds
twitched,
then
twitched
again,
then
a bit
more.
Cloud
renderings.
Nearly
unnoticed.
Folding
here.
Kneading
there.
Spinning
yarns
within.
Shaping
narratives
of
obedience.
Mind
spells.
Civilization
bent.
Such
are how
monsters
arrive.
Eager
little
monsters.
