Year? unknown. Place? Hell? A creature is pulled from the dark by an unnatural force. It is greeted into this world by howling and roars from above while flashes of light straining its new set of eyes. There is another thing in the room with him. A monsters that struggles with the creature. He screams at it. He pushes it away. He beats it. For the next few weeks, the creature is chained to a wall in a dark room, only a small window high above from which he witnesses… horrors. Other monsters, equally grotesque and dangerous. One is different, however. The monster’s bride. She is gentle. The creature learns about kindness. But the monster pulls her away and resumes its cruelty. The creature forces its way out, into the world beyond where he chased by the horde. He runs as fast as his new legs will take him. Far from their shouts, their pitchforks and torches. Into the trees. There, the creature will learn to survive. Become his own master. A God, in a world of monsters.
