Eventually he'd let the answering machine take over and had hidden in his studio. Where he's hidden all his life. From the monster.

He could feel itin their bedroom now. He could feel its tail swishing by him. Feel its hot, fetid breath.

All his life he knew if he was quiet enough, small enough, it wouldnn't see him. If he didn't make a fuss, didn't speak up, it wouldn't hear him, wouldn't hurt him. If he was beyond criticism and hid his cruelty with a smile and good deeds, it wouldn't devour him.

By now he realized there was no hiding. It would always be there, and always find him.

He was the monster.
