Today, as I roamed the streets in my monstrous form, I couldn't help but revel in the chaos and fear that consumed the humans around me. Their screams of terror were like music to my ears, a symphony of misery that fueled my insatiable appetite for jealousy.
I watched as their faces contorted with envy at each other's possessions, relationships, and successes. How easily they fell prey to their own insecurities and desires. It was both amusing and pathetic to witness how weak they truly were.
But deep down, beneath my facade of indifference and superiority, I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling of emptiness within me. Despite being able to shape shift into anyone or anything I desired, I could never escape from this sense of inadequacy that constantly gnawed at me.
I longed for something more than just manipulating others for my own amusement. Was there a way out from this endless cycle of jealousy and self-loathing? Or was it too late for someone like me who thrived on feeding off others' misery?
As night fell upon the cityscape bathed in shadows, I retreated back into hiding - a small green slug blending seamlessly into the darkness. Alone with my thoughts once again...and drowning in an ocean of envy that threatened to consume me whole.
Perhaps one day I will find solace in something other than causing pain and suffering. But until then...I will continue dwelling in shadows, feeding on others' misery like a parasite unable to break free from its host.
