Once upon a time, we were happy and everything was good and we were in charge and we were safe.

And then the monsters took hold. But no one knew that they had. And these monsters are not this sort of vaguely threatening variety; they have to be absolutely gigantic, demonic, sort of the most hyperbolic thing you can think of, go another step.

So it’s always children, Satan, mutilation and torture, pedophilia. And the story goes that everything seemed fine because the monsters made sure this was all kept secret. So the monsters control what you know.

And only the heroes of the story knew the truth and they arrive to save the world.
