Grendel's Terror

I terrorized this kingdom for twelve years now trying to take revenge on the men that turned me away as a boy. I would be sure to kill every last one of them. Hrothgar and his people would pay for the pain that they made me go through. Every night I sneak into the kingdom and kill whomever I can get to first. I lost count of all of the people that I have killed from this kingdom, but I do know every night I kill more and more. At first one was enough to satisfy me, but as I repeatedly killed every night one was no longer enough. I wanted to kill more and more everyday, and I knew at this point there was no turning back I was a monster and there was nothing anyone could do to stop me. Now all of the kingdom feared me and they knew who I was. The people of the kingdom could not sleep for days at a time, and as soon as they fell asleep I would snatch them up and kill them.

Grendel's Childhood

When I was young I had no one to look after me. I would go exploring all over the place. I would go wherever I wanted whenever I wanted. I had no to trust and I had no one to care for me. I had no brothers or sisters. My family and I were insulted all of the time. I had no friends, and I was walking through this world alone. I had no idea about life or what I was going to be. I tried to become one of the humans and leave my people, but when I did the men turned on me and sent me away. So I then returned to my home and would seek revenge on the men that would not let me be apart of them. I knew from that moment on what I would be in life. I would be the one everybody feared and I would kill everyone who ever treated me wrong. There would be no one on this earth to stop me. I was tired of being put down and criticized.

Grendel's Life

I never knew exactly how I wanted to live my life. I encountered a bull that tried to attack me using the same methods repeatedly. It was at this moment that I developed the idea that the world was disorderly. That led me to think, how should I live my life? From that moment on I would live my life as a destroyer killing whoever came in my way and killing whoever I wanted. I knew I was a monster and I started killing more and more. One person was not enough I wanted to kill more and more people everynight. It was an addiction and there was nothing that could stop me. I knew there was nothing in this world that could stop me. I would make humans fear me and I would kill at night just for the pleasure of it. I would not be stopped and could not be stopped.

Grendel's Last Thoughts

I had finally found someone who could stop me, and I knew this was the end. This is it I finally felt the one thing I had never experienced before, and that was fear. The last thing that went through my mind was wanting to get as far away as possible. When Beowulf grabbed me it was the first time that I had ever been intimidated. I knew that I had been beaten and there was nothing I could do to get away, his grip was to strong for me to get away. Nobody has ever had the strength to hold me down like he had. I knew for once that I had been beaten for the final time. I had been a failure all of my life and killing was the one thing I had not failed at but for the first time in my life I had failed at killing.
