The aging of monsters

[Silly]

Yesterday I realized that our monsters age. It had the face of an old man... but I didn't stare. That magical power of fear that it held over me for so long diminished. It may still be there in my dreams, but those are temporary... transient states.

Today, that boy that I was (from 9 to 14), he's quiet... he's okay - and so am I.

It took bravery to face that old demon. I'm glad it has lost some of its power over you.

So good to hear. He has the face of an old man, the "magical power" he held over you like his youthful appearance has diminished and you are here to talk about it. He didn't win!

I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but this reply made me laugh. It is "F'n groovy.
