Story
Fear ever-present in my eyes, I back up until my back is flat against the wall. She smirks and begins to crawl over in a most seductive way that my lower regions cannot resist but look forward to the inevitable. I take a deep breath, close my eyes, steel my nerves...

"I gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over. I better read between the lines..."

As her face adopts a bewildered expression, I walk over to the wall and gaze longingly out of the (obviously locked) window. "In case I need it when I'm older."

A beat starts seemingly out of nowhere, as well as the sounds of other instruments. The Manticore looks around, almost scared.

"And this mountain I must climb," I look at the Manticore with sad eyes, ''"Feels like the world upon my shoulders." ''

I go back to looking out the window, as clouds part and the suns rays stream in through the window. "And through the clouds I see love shine; it keeps me warm as life grows colder."

Moving away from the window and slumping down on the bed as if I were depressed. The Manticore, actually feeling pity, goes to place her hand on my shoulder, but before she can touch me, I lie down out of her reach. She then looks at her own paw, puzzled by her own actions.

"In my life," I sing to the cieling, "There's been heartache and pain. I don't know if I can face it again. Can't stop now," I sit up suddenly, looking directly ahead of me with determination, "I've traveled so far," I look directly at the Manticore, our eyes meet...

"To change this lonely life."

Just when she thought things could not get any weirder, I was suddenly standing on the bed, a hand outreached to her as if to serenade her.

''"I wanna know what love is! I want you to show me!" ''Unable to explain her own actions, she takes my hand and allows me to pull her up, and my hand goes to her cheek. ''"I wanna feel what love is!" ''We both fall down onto the bed besides each other. "I know you can show me!"

After that, she, well, shows me what love is, skipping the part where she uses her tail entirely whilst the instrumental plays in the background.

When she wakes up in the morning she finds a note on the pillow, with two words written on it.

'Thank you.'

Since then she has been searching for the man who showed her what love really was.
