monster

Two people sit before a campfire at night, facing each other. The person on the left has an arm raised, as though they're telling a story. Looming behind them like a huge shadow is a great black cloud with the radioactive trefoil on it, warped and distorted, like the face of a monster formed by smoke. Part of the cloud rises up from the head of the person on the right, as though it's a speech balloon; something they're describing. There are dark things out there on the desert—and under it.

A collection of huge, glowing bones lies under the ground in a rocky cavern, as though a radioactive dinosaur has died there. The ground above the bones is barren and flat; the sky is overcast. A ghost of a sun shows through. Planted in the ground right above the bones in a small, triangular warning sign. There's nothing visible on the sign, but the shape suggests it is warning about those glowing bones under the ground.

A person stands on a very tall stool, painting a giant canvas. Rather than being placed on an easel, the canvas is held by a huge, furry monster. The monster's head is behind the canvas. The image on the canvas shows a figure wearing a suit and tie, but the figures head is a simple, round smiley emoji. The placement of the canvas and figure lines up precisely with where the monster's head and shoulders would be, almost as though the canvas is a mask for the monster. Which, perhaps...is one of the purposes of art? [Murmurs of approval in the faculty lounge]

A tall horned devil-figure, seen from the back. The figure is wearing a hat and a large, furry coat. Smoke is coming from the hat. In the back of the figure is a red window in which sits a person with a coffee mug. Also on the back of the figure are crimson neon signs that say "Diner open 24"

A figure hauling a sack slung over its back staggers along a wasteland. Sticking out of the sack is a giant obelisk with a terrible empty-eyed face, mouth agape.

A giant werewolf-like monster stands in two legs, raising its arms over its head. Its hands are huge and clawed. In place of a face is a smiling emoji with eyes for hearts.

A giant furry creature with one eye. On top of the creature's head is balanced a platform, on which sits a cafe table and chair. A person sits at the table, holding a mug. Across the table from the person is a puppet, which the furry creature is holding up from below. Above the person hangs a light. There are shadows, suggesting a somewhat darkened room.

A white fish under the sea, seen in profile, upright almost like a seahorse. But the weird thing is that it has fur.

An old-style, monochrome television—you know, the kind with knobs and a cathode ray tube—stands on furry, spindly legs. It is standing on a grassy hill at night: behind it is the suggestion of a city seen from a great height, the streets defined by lights. There's a moon partially hidden behind fog. It is, altogether, a distinctly eerie scene; one made all the more unsettling by the fact that the television screen is on and glowing, displaying a monstrous staring face.

A furry creature stands on top of a tire in the middle of a desert, skillfully rolling it along. But the creature's head contains a circular window, through which we see that another furry creature sits inside it, holding a steering wheel. But that creature's head has a circular window too, in which the tiny silhouette of a person is visible. That person's head is intact.

A large, misshapen building wall with haphazardly arranged windows and a top that seems to be carved from rock. Being it stands a furry creature with one eye and horns, wearing boots; the wall raised as though the creature is holding it like a shield or facade.

A large face with one eye and a mouth like the opening of a tunnel, framed by two legs. The eye appears to be a window, with a person looking out of it. It's night.

Two yellow, furry creatures with only eye and one leg stand next to each other. One is much larger, as though it's a parent looking at its young.

A giant, furry, horned creature stands on top of a bell tower at night, while below, in the bell chamber, visible via the arched opening, a person sits. Both figures stare at a full moon.

A vast, carved figure stands on a wall with a small tag next to it, as though it's in a museum. Disturbingly, the base of it is split open, and a thick tail emerges from the hole in the wall.

A giant crimson something sits in the ruins of a tiny house, tail extending through a mouthlike opening at the base of the house. It's night. The scene looks as though it were lit by a moon, but there is no moon. There never is on nights like this.

A dim figure stands in the light-filled entrance to a much darker room. You're in the room looking out, and your eye inevitably shifts from the approaching figure to the eyes and nose above the doorway—a leering masklike visage with the blazing doorway for the mouth
