The Monster My hands were shaking as I added the final touch to my masterpiece. I was assigned the task of painting the king. I have him on a noble steed that looks grand and proud. And the king himself was sitting tall on his horse and a broad perfect smile on his face. Behind the king is a beautiful sunset that streaks the horizon. I left the painting for a minute to go and get the king. But on the way to his quarters I met with the most horrible group of creatures I have ever seen. They were a nasty green tinge with a sickly sneer in their faces. They looked almost human but there was something odd about them, like they didn’t belong. They had an arrogant confidence bout them that made them seem smarter than everyone else. As I approached I kept my eyes down and tried to walk by but they just sneered and jeered at me saying “So if it isn’t the skilled painter off to go and brag about his new creation” I just kept walking. And as I walked by they all spread out and blocked my path. I asked them what I wanted and they replied saying that they wanted to have a painting competition judged by the king himself. I agreed and as I trudged back to the main hall I knew exactly what I was going to paint. Upon arriving in the hall all of the monsters started laughing hysterically and I asked them why and between the laughter I managed to make out “That painting (Laughing) is so bad it should be a comedy. And trying to ignore this was extremely hard to do. I picked up my brush and began to paint. I was in a trance like state as my brush streaked the canvas with its vibrant colors; I painted the green things, but instead of being tall and commanding respect they were small and insignificant, and were bowing down to the rest of the world. Upon seeing the picture the green things suddenly started to go into the picture itself and after being fully immersed in the painting they were now silent. I woke up that very instant, and started to finish up the painting of the king with my monster silenced for one more night.
