A skeleton... monster...? [The concept gives him pause, as things he's heard and thought for the first time since coming to on the beach.]

Skeleton monster... Hey, that actually sounds kind of right.

[Blowing his mind a little. Monster feels like a dense word, a lot of associations stringing off from it, mostly to foggy places he can't recall. Almost more associations than human has.]

But I thought, somebody said, skeletons are corpses? Without the fleshy parts.
