It is with severe pain that I tell to you all my feelings about love. I only ask that you not cringe when you look at my deformed and mangled face or run from the table screaming as our first waitress did. You see, this is my first time in public in many years. I only brave this appearance because I know I have much to say about love. It only hurts to relay this. I will be brief. I must disagree with Dante who claims that love is attainable for all. I spend my entire existence looking for love and everywhere I look, I am hated. The worst feeling I can imagine is loving and not being loved back. Oh, my tormented soul! My once raging heart now feels only the emptiness of despair. Oh cursed creator! Why did you make me only to abandon me so that I suffer alone? Why must I be stuck in the hollow ruin that is my existence? The world laughs in my face at my pain. I see the beauty of nature. I see sunshine, beautiful flowers, trees swaying in the cool breeze. I hear the innocent laughter of children, the delight of others' conversations. Yet, they only mock my existence. I know what love is because I know I am not loved. Love is the single most important thing in the world. It is all that gives meaning to life. One who comes into the world only wanting to be loved by forever shunned and hated by everyone may just as well have never been created at all.
The monster bowed his head and began to sob.
