Monstrous Feelings (Weyler one-shots)

Lesson #1, Amanda, never attempt to steal something from a monster

In the hypnotic theater of words, Amanda Buckman stands as a beacon of her own truth, her name resonating with a premeditated elegance seeking to captivate both admiration and fear. Wrapped in the paradox of her identity, she views herself as an intrinsic piece in the cosmic puzzle, seeking to escape the label that tries to confine her. Her self-perception is a labyrinth of contrasts, an interpretation that deviates from reality, leaving a void between what appears to be and what truly is.

The stage of her self-image projects a deceptively grandiose picture, a narcissistic vision that makes her believe everything around her revolves around her name. Wrapped in a bubble of egocentrism, she envisions herself as the center of the universe, a unique jewel in the vast necklace of existence. However, this distorted interpretation reveals more about her own fears and desires than about the true nature of the outside world.

On the radiant stage of her life, the public mask she wears conceals the darker nuances of her being. Her angelic image, nurtured by her parents' perception, hides the shadows that intertwine with her essence. Behind the gleaming reflections and sweet words lies a more complex reality, a truth struggling to emerge from the forgotten corners of her being.

The teachers, attentive observers of her path, recognize her innate ability and label her as intelligent and responsible. However, beneath the surface of this facade, a veiled malice resides, a subtle game of manipulation that reveals a dark facet only a few can glimpse.

Those not deceived by the angelic facade paint a wholly different portrait of Amanda, one that delves into the abyss of her true essence. She is an unscrupulous bully, a being who seems to take pleasure in watching others suffer. She's like a dead fly, attracting with her beauty and then stinging with venomous buzzing. Her intelligence, rather than being a beacon of greatness, becomes a tool of cruelty, used to hurt rather than to enlighten.

The shadows lurking behind her angelic gaze are darker than many dare to imagine. Homophobia, racism, and classism intertwine within her being, like thorns on a poisoned rose. She vehemently rejects any reality that doesn't mirror her own, an obstinate denial that drives her to reject the marginalized, those who dare to be different.

But who is Amanda Buckman truly in the tangle of juxtaposed contradictions? She is the echo of a discordant symphony, a chaotic composition of lights and shadows. She's neither the embodiment of an angel nor the incarnation of evil, but an amalgamation of both, a constantly evolving work of art that paints strokes on the ever-changing canvases of life.

In the recesses of her being lies the truth, waiting to be unraveled by those brave enough to look beyond appearances. Amanda Buckman is a story in and of herself, a novel that continues to be written with every choice, every word, every thought.

Undoubtedly, Amanda possesses a remarkable academic intellect; this is undeniable. However, one would need a mastery of the art of foolishness to even consider meddling in the intricate relationship of Wednesday Addams. And this is especially true when one already has murky backgrounds concerning said relationship. Who could have come up with such a senseless notion? Well, Amanda, of course. In the chapter at hand, I am about to chronicle the tale of how young Buckman, with her scattered thoughts, devised the absurd plan to snatch Wednesday Addams' beloved boyfriend.

The story unfolds on a sweltering May morning, a week after the classrooms had closed their doors, filling the air with an unmistakably vacation-like flavor.

The Buckman family embarked on an air journey from the state of California to the eastern corner of the United States, specifically to New Jersey. They then rented a vehicle, a flashy golden-toned Peugeot Rifter, a car that couldn't go unnoticed, and thus embarked on a road trip until they reached Vermont. In that state, they planned to stay at the exclusive (and only) hotel standing in the town of Jericho.
