I’m trying not to think about it), I’ve found my mind distracted from the insane ramblings carved on the walls by previously interned writers. I’ve started to wonder what a monster is.

The Monster Mash
Considering the fact that the monsters have so much technology, I’m very disappointed that their taste in music is not more developed. Blusterfart the Unsteady has not stopped humming this darned song all day and it’s driving me mad … again. It annoyed me when I was a lad, and it’s just as irritating now! [...]

On The Buses

First News
The outside world has heard of my plight! My story made it into the top children’s newspaper, First News… Hang on – they don’t mention that I’m missing at all! NOOOO!!!
