I HAD to run. His shadow covered mine. The Moon became his partner and Moon followed me too.
Then she appeared. She looked up and I realized I AM a tall man.
“Can you help me little witch?” I asked, “I am a monster, a man afraid of himself”.
She couldn’t be less interested. “There is full World of those”, she said and flew away on her broom towards the full Moon.

you are the master...the perfect title. may none of us be ignorant witches. i love that the tall man is not so scary after all (that's all a monster is, right?)...
ReplyDeletegreat one! :D
My monster is not scary but scared of himself:) I suggested that makes him a monster because nobody should be afraid of self. An ignorant witch points out that "it is none of her business" because to accept yourself you really don't need any witchcraft.
ReplyDeleteThank you Zoe for your support, it means a world to me:)
i think all monsters are scared of themselves. you are so clever :D
ReplyDeleteDeep thinking, Vesna.I like your story. The man is different from the others, and this makes him feel scared. But, as you said everyone has to accept himself, after all we can't be so "terrible"!...at least the most part of the people! :S
ReplyDeleteI have to say I like the witch, she is disillusioned. Probably she is used to all kind of monsters...maybe she is a monster too... who knows? :)
Once again I agree with Zoe, you are clever Vesna.;)
Vesna this is brilliant! There is such a message to be learned! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love this fable, Vesna. Such a big truth... we all have to fight our own monsters away. I celebrate being lucky enough to enjoy the gift of your wonderful talents :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't like it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the pictures.. they are soso. :)
I am really glad that almost everybody liked my story:)))Thank you so much for your comments and support.
