At the intersection of progress and failure lies the flawed being, the variant form. It exists suspended in the awareness that it has been rendered indefensible by its difference. Fear. Fear from others, fear of itself. Realizing that it is less than what is wanted or more of what is ultimately not wanted. The variant form when desired is acceptable, the absence of this desire produces the monstrosity.
