It's magnificent and quite amazing what even a small, heartfelt smile will communicate. I have realized that my monster responds to smiles and some other very simple things. It's not that monsty hasn't
wanted to come out, she's just been scared to. Such a huge monster, yet such a scared one, too. Pretty soon monsty will come out, I think, and it's going to be the biggest relief of my entire being.
Actually, the other morning (in the wee hours), monsty came out (I forgot) for a little bit. At first she was a huge ball of blazing fire and I got really afraid, but then I came to terms with her a bit, and she turned into a blue (and bigger) ball of flames, with a lady inside of it. The lady was nice

. As I came to terms with monsty, the ball of flames got bigger and bluer and more full of light. Monsty told me she was going to get bigger and bigger.
