The Inevitable Return of the Monster from Our Dreams Jun 01 '04    Write an essay on this topic. Tweet Popular Products in Movies Under the Tuscan Sun From $9 Casablanca From $3 The Bottom Line I think the title is fairly self-explanatory On a sunny day at the beginning of autumn, the city settles into a sort of hush. After the people have got to work, there aren’t as many cars around and the sounds of the trees swaying and bending are heard more clearly. There is a girl in this city, a small girl with short hair who is often seen smiling. It is this girl who will eventually save the whole city from total and utter destruction. There is something horrible shambling inexorably towards our city. It is an apparition of the greatest instinctual fears of human kind. It is a monster, with wild brown shaggy hair all over its body, bright red eyes and teeth inches long. It walks on all fours, with shoulders wider than the average car and a short snout. The monster is like an animal, and one might compare it to a dog or an ape, depending on one’s perspective. The face looks a little bit like that of a bat. The monster is endlessly hungry, the monster is strong like nothing else and the monster wants to consume us all. Above all, the monster means death. As this horror moves slowly towards the city, the short haired girl sits in some café with brown walls and metal seats. She is reading a long article about a man who believes he is an emu. Characteristically, the girl is clearly smiling. She takes a sip of her coffee and looks around at the people in the café. Only she knows what she thinks of them. Like her, they are young people who work nearby in the city. One can only assume that she feels some fondness for them. There is a vibration through the café and a waiter spills someone’s order. There are very strange sounds coming from outside and some of the patrons are getting out of their seats and looking out of the window. From this vantage point, they can all get a very good view of the terrible monster and the damage it is wreaking along the street. Right at that moment, the monster is chasing some poor unfortunate down the street in her suit. The semi-sensible shoes that she had been wearing are some way back down the road as she looks frantically back and forth between the monster and the veering path of her escape. Some of our café patrons are looking further behind the monster to see the destruction behind it. There is wreckage from the frontages of shops lying on the road, and some bloodied figures can be seen crawling among it, and there are other figures lying completely still. Some of the smaller buildings have collapsed. This is what the monster wants and needs. We shouldn’t hate the monster, but we should fear it. Most of the patrons of the café have wisely retreated to the rear of the shop, but our small girl remains near the window. Someone yells out, ‘Get away from the window! We all have to hide!’ But the girl doesn’t hide. She looks towards the others cowering behind a counter and calmly turns for the door. Another of the patrons yells out, ‘Don’t go out there! It’s certain death!’ She opens the door and steps out into the street. In the aftermath, these events are seen by some as proof that some pretty girls are angels from heaven who are destined to save us all.
