Behind the Door There's a creature in the closet waiting for you to open the door. It's banging the walls, jangling locks, screaming, "Get me out ah here!" "Don't lock me in anymore!" Poor little bugger How lonely he must be. Isn't there something we can do for him? Hey – have compassion: All the critter wants is an arm to chew on or someone to share their brains. Don't be afraid of dah creatures knocking at your doors – If you survive the encounter you'll be stronger The real monsters smile on TV brain-washing multitudes into believing mass consunerism & militarism help prosperity.

Wan-Sze:	This guy is weird.
Nadia:	Good. Creative non-conformity is healthy.
Kasim:	Yeah, but there's a bestial queerness ta him.
Will:	Because he doesn't vote the way you expect?
Kasim:	Nawh, those who see the Beast have it inside 'em.
