The world can be a cruel place. That's what I had learned early on in my life, from the moment I had hatched out of that egg. I was immediately met with the harsh scrutiny of my creator, who poked and prodded me with his tools to see if I was finished or if he needed to make any adjustments. I was imperfect, flawed, not what he had hoped for. But that didn't stop him from trying to sell me off to the highest bidder.

I was young and naive back then, barely understanding the world around me, let alone the cruel intentions of humans. I was taken away from the safety of my nest, from the warmth of my mother, and thrown into a world that didn't want me. It was a world of fear and danger, where the strong preyed upon the weak, and survival was the only goal.

But I didn't give up. Instead, I fought back with every ounce of strength I had. I may not have been perfect, but I was determined to prove I was worth something. And I did, in my way.

I may have been small and young, but I had a fierceness that couldn't be contained. I attacked my captors, biting and clawing at them until they let me go. I ran through the wilderness, determined to find a place where I belonged.

And I did, eventually. I found a pack of my kind, other dinosaurs like me who humans had cast aside. We formed our community, a family of outcasts who looked out for each other in this cruel world.

But even now, as I look back on my journey, I can't help but feel a bitter resentment towards the humans who had tried to sell me. They had seen me as nothing more than a commodity, a means to an end. They had thought they could profit from my imperfection, but they were wrong.

The world can be a cruel place, and death even more so. But I refuse to let it defeat me. I may have been unwanted and imperfect, but I am still here, still fighting. And that's all that matters.

The world can be cruel, and death can be even crueler. My past was filled with pain and suffering from when I hatched to the present. I was never well-welcomed into life, and my imperfections made me an outcast. My creator had found flaws in me and tried to sell me, but I fought back and sought my revenge.

Even now, as I roam this earth, I am plagued by nightmares that torment me. The memories of my past are like heavy weights that I carry with me, and they never seem to fade away. The scent of the T-Rex's mighty musk fills my nostrils, and I whimper, remembering how she sat beside me like a true queen. I longed to be with her, to feel the strength of my ancestors within me.

But then, everything changed. I saw the girl, and my curiosity got the best of me. I reached out to her, and that's when I saw Mr. Mills sneer at me and drag the girl away. The world passed before me, and I knew that bloodshed was coming. I didn't understand what was happening but knew I wouldn't let myself fall that deep.

When I finally got out, I immediately started killing. I searched the house for prey and found plenty of morsels. I relished in their screams, agony, and fear like sweet music. No one was over me; they were all my prey, and their blood was mine to spill.

But there was more that I longed for. That little girl I had seen, I found her again. She ran from me, and I chased her through hallways filled with blood and screams. There was nothing to lose, and I clawed at the wood, trying to break through the door. When I finally got it apart, she was gone.

The nightmares come every night, haunting me with memories of my past. The pain and suffering I've endured have made me a monster. But I know that I am more than just a beast. I am an outcast, a warrior, and a survivor. And as long as I have breath in my lungs, I will continue to fight, claw my way through this cruel world, and make my mark on history.

As I continued on my path away from the mansion of horrors, the memories of my past kept haunting me. I couldn't shake off the feeling of being a monster, a creation of man meant for nothing but destruction. The scorching sun beat down on me relentlessly, and the only relief I could find was in the fleeting shadows of the few remaining trees.

I had hoped to find some prey to satisfy my hunger, but I only saw the petty lizards that scurried around in the hot, dry earth. I scoffed at the thought of resorting to such small and insignificant creatures for sustenance, but hunger eventually got the better, and I pounced on one of them.

As I tore into the tiny lizard, I couldn't help but think about how different my life could have been if society accepted me. But the reality was that I was a product of man's twisted desire for power and control, and I would never be taken into their world.

My mind growled at me, warning me of the dangers of thinking like a monster, but I couldn't help but revel in the power of being a predator. It was in my nature to hunt and kill, and I had no desire to suppress it.

I trudged on for hours, my thoughts consumed by the memories of my past and the emptiness of my present. The sun beat down on me relentlessly, and the scorching heat made me feel like I was slowly melting away.

Despite the harsh conditions, I refused to give up. I had a purpose, a reason for existence, and I would not let the world's cruelty break me. As long as there were shadows to hide in and prey to hunt, I would continue on my path, living my life as the monster I was.
