Tears and Tatters, Drips of Karma...

Daily Monster.

   In the ages of preteen History, is the most deadly monster, the whole planet Earth beholds. It has but only one chance of living. It feeds on tears, and sorrow, grief, and suicide. With it's long, sharp teeth and chipped yellow fingernails, the creature grabs ahold of you, grasping your body tightly, using your secrets against you, and pulls you into its dark cave. This medieval  cave is called 'Rumors echo'. There, the monster devours you whole, with no warning. So many people are being consumed but this, that many people will drop out of their school, just to escape the dishonorable being. To run away from it, and hope it never returns to their well being...but it will, surely, follow you.

 

   The cave, however, is one of the main sources for this occurrence. Inside, as you walk among the walls and wet floor, you hear the echo's and whispers of everyday events. You hear faint "She did this..." and "He did that...". They say the wet floor is NOT from a past flood, but the tears of innocent boys and girls. The kids who were, indeed concumed by the Monster.

 

   To avoid being eaten, the tasks are simple:

-Do NOT say words or phrases, of which they are non exsistant.

-Do NOT walk among the fools who choose to follow only one(Especially which is the one known as 'unwise')

-For the matter of speaking, don't abuse the power of words. Meaning, Watch the profanities.

-And last,  but one of the most important, Do NOT Neglect another, just for being the human they were born as, and will forever remain to be.

 

   The Monster lives inside of us all. There, He awaits to challenge your pity. He will defeat you.

 

His Name is Karma.

A very interesting short story. To me, it sounds like you are describing high school and all the rumors that can cause others pain. I do think a reader can read this from a different point of view and come up with other similar meanings which is a good thing. Overall, this was an excellent read.
