Wednesday, August 20 - Alter Ego

Shrek, the resident of the local swamp finds happiness by being left alone. Shrek harms no one except for those that deserve it. During his days, he does what he can to live in peace by doing what is necessary, such as his chores. During the nights, everyone assumes he is resting but they couldn't have been more wrong. When the sun falls and the stars emerge, Shrek embarks on his nightly routine, starting through the forest into town. By day, he is Shrek, big green ogre whom everyone despises for being a big green ogre. By night, he is Dreck, a big green ogre whom everyone loves for his inspirational actions and words.
"We are all like onions, peel away the outer skin to reveal your true being." Dreck pronounces in the town square. No one is aware of his real ego, Shrek. This deeply saddens him as the words he spoke that night were to encourage the townspeople to have an open mind to everybody, no matter how green they are. Shrek is Dreck on most nights to teach a moral lesson, yet nobody listens. This is why he is the large, green, misunderstood ogre that we all know of. Perhaps there is a big green ogre inside all of us.

  1. This has fantastic description and story telling. The only problem I can see is that Shrek is not Drek.
