From last night's talk at the G, a tone poem of sorts:

Monsters are primal predators
freaks of nature
genetic mutants
bizarre hybrids
scaley slime slingers
invading aliens
robots running amok
creatures of the night
undead aberrations
denizens of hell
outcasts from heaven.
And we are just soft pink things.

Monsters want to eat us
dismember us
mutilate us
take over our bodies
kidnap our children
suck our brains
raygun us
turn us into one of them
perform . . . bizarre experiments on us.
Basically, they want to do us harm.
They are bad.
