“The biggest giants are the ones living in your head.” My mother used to tell me this, and I believed her for a long time. Then I realized something.

The giant of fear in my head is nothing compared to the monsters living in the minds of others. The only way to slay those giants is mind against mind, monster against beast. I only hope it’s not the biggest monster that wins.

I hope it’s the smartest.
This is the flash fiction piece I wrote for PostRevival's July potluck "slaying giants."
