[center][i]They’re real. All of them.

You’ve just never looked in the right place.

I’ll tell you where to find it, and what to do.

Maybe you’ll go there without really knowing why.

In any place, anywhere in the world, wait until nightfall and go to the edge of the nearest forest.

Do not bring anything with you, save for your clothes and a source of light.

Stand at the edge of the forest and say aloud, “Please let me in. I want to tell you a story.”

Begin walking slowly through the trees. Never stop, not even for a second.

If you did everything right, you will soon begin to feel a cold, disturbing breeze.

You will hear whispers in the air, speaking of horrible things. Do not pay them any mind.

You will feel as though you are being watched, or followed. Again, ignore it.

Eventually, you will see a faint light in the distance. Follow it.

You will come to a clearing, and you will find an old, decrepit mansion.

You will see an old woman dressed in rags, sitting in a rocking chair on the porch, with a lantern at her side.

Walk up to her, and don’t speak until she does.

She will raise her head, revealing her pale eyes and waxy skin. She will give you a crooked smile.

“What story will you tell me?”

Tell her a tale about a monster, or many. Something you’re afraid of. Describe them in as much excruciating detail as you can muster.

Tell her everything you can think of, leave nothing unsaid. The more you tell her, the happier she will seem.

She will raise her hand and stop you before you can end your story.

“That’s enough. Go inside.”

The front doors will open by themselves. The old woman will lower her head and refuse to acknowledge you any further.

You will have to make a choice. You can leave the forest now, and forget any of this ever happened. Nothing will harm you.

Or you can climb the steps and go inside, and meet the monster you made.

Either way, you’ll know it’s real.

All of them are real.

Your monster, and everyone else’s.[/i]
