Monsters have jobs.
They have three jobs.
One, they like to scare you.
Two, they like to teach you.
Three, they make you laugh.
What's so bad about that?

As I look around me, it seems to me that where I've wound up is right at what non-timetravelers would conventionally perceive as the cusp between the past and future.

The future approaches us faster all the time, doesn't it?
Thank you for triggering a flash-back from when I was about 8 years old.
