COMPETITION PROMPT

As the pair crossed the roaring river, they noticed a figure waiting for them on the other side.

HE WAS NOT A MONSTER


“ What is that ? “ Asked her with an exhausted voice ; looking everywhere.

" I Don’t know !!” he said, his heart was exploding.

" You told me that we would escape after crossing this river, i told you we had to go for the other one, you never listen to me ….”

As the figure was approching them, he said with a happy voice “ i would have found you anyway “

" it woudn’t matter if you had crossed the other river young lady, would it ?” said him as he started to laugh louder “

"What should we do now ? Run ? Walk ? Fly ? We must think first, i’ll give you time to think.” Said him as he took some steps backward.


" What do you want from us ? Please tell us, we would do anything…. please let us go “

She said as she ran out of breath . She started to cough with a heavy voice , a heart that was empty , with eyes that ran out of tears.

" We never got time for a coversation ! Shall we have one now ? the figure said.

" Baby kiss me ….. kiss me, please let me taste your lips, let me feel your touch one last time, i promissed you that i would die in your hands, please squeeze me i’m scared .” She said as tears started to flow on her face.

The tears felt like a baby that finally sees her mom after a long time , the tears felt like joy.

" Interesting “ the figuire said as he got closer to them.

They were about to run but the figuire said with a crack voice “ Wait …. i’m not gonna kill you, i may be ugly, but i’m not a killer, i just wanna have a conversation “

" It makes me sad that people only judges by appearance, everyone runs when they see me, they never talk to me ….. " He said as he was looking down “ They made me a villian. Their words, their actions ……. but anyway kiss her young man, make her feel safe, now let’s have the conversation .


" What do you want from us ? tell us ? and how are supposed to trust you after what you have done to us ?

" Babe calm down , let’s break this down together “ Her husband said

" Do not tell me to “ calm down “ did you already forget ? Did you already forget about how hard it was for us to run ? we’ve fallen on the way so many times, we crossed the river hopping to escape from this monster……….. you saw everything with you eyes monster . Are you not human ?

" What have i even done ? you saw me and ran , i may look like a monster but i’m not one , i tried to have this conversation before you even ran …… all you saw was a monster. You did not even got to know me , my name is Joseph , and i’m not a monster . " Here is your purse, you drop it on the way “

" I dont want this purse anymore , you already touched it , why would i touch something that a person like you touched ? Said her with a angry voice

" Come take it , if you are scared of me , i’ll leave it here “ Said the figuire

Her partner was wacthing her speak to the figuire with no fear and did not say anything .

" Do not tell us that you were stalking us just for this purse “ she said as she got closer to him

" No , but you got me emotional , you reminded me that i was human, i was not gonna kill you anyway ,now i have to go “

" Wait !! Do not go yet. You wanna explain how i did that ?’

" You were craving his touch even though you were so tired of running, some people would have pushed him away ……… but you were here by his side, hands in Hands, skin to skin . "

She started to cry and i said : “ i love him so much , my perfect husband , he his my everything , do you want a hug from us ?”

" No “ he said as he took off “ i’m a monster aint it ?


As the figuire left, she went down to her knees and started to cry louder as her husband was comforting her.

" It’s okay baby , it’s okay “ he kissed her lips with a hunger that he had never felt before , and hug her so tight.

" No it is not okay. Why do we always judge people before even getting to know them ? This figuire was not a monster, he was a person just like me …. i should have hugged him but i was being so mean …. let me pray to God .

She spent hours talking to God asking him for forgiveness, her husband was right besides her, conforting her as she woke up from her dream with tears on her face .

She woke her husband up and went to hug him .

" That was a message from God” Said her

" Baby what are you talking about ? Are you okay ? Asked her husband as he saw tears on her face

" Shut up. “ She said , as she kissed him like he kissed her in the dream.


After this day this women had never judged anyone , even after knowing them .
