I wonder what it feels like to be human. Something I have never been and will never be. I wonder what it is like to have a soul. Certainly everything must be better when you're human, right? Humans look out for each other, right? I have never felt like a monster. But I know I must be, because people always told me I was. Maybe, if I was human, I would finally deserve to live. Maybe, if I was human, I would finally belong, and no one would hate me anymore. My family says to keep it all inside. They say humans are the true monsters. But that can't be true. Can it?
