The world is a dark place.

In this dark place, humans hide.

The human heart is a dark place.

In this dark place, monsters hide.

In this world, monsters hide.
 

Words can do many things to a person.  Words can cause a smile.  Words can mend hearts.  Words can cause tears.  Words can tear a heart.  Words can kill.

A waste of space.

Useless.

A mistake.
