Escape

In a society where everything is seen in black or white, there isn't much left to argue. Is there? It's either wrong or it's right, there is no considered middle ground. You are either good or evil, hot or cold, water or fire. Nobody leaves any room for a gray area. You didn't defend yourself from your abusive ex-boyfriend, no, you're considered a murderer because he died at your hands. It doesn't matter that he would have killed you, you killed him first. We as people, humans, like to put everything into nice, organized, little boxes to label ourselves and others. We take it upon ourselves to judge and label things that may not be under our control. Then, when things don't fall nicely into a box, we outcast them. For not forming to our strange societal norms. Just because they may not be the same as you and me. So, when society is threatened by a gray area outside the box, what do they decide to do? They trap them in their own box and label this gray area as monsters. But, who are we to judge when maybe we are the real monsters here.
