HOWARD

December 23, 2017

The incandescent bird monster scraped barnacles from the scow’s hull with its tongue. Howard missed the show, digging through garbage with his back turned to the river. Finally finding an acceptable rind, his pivot back to the river was too late, the incandescent bird monster having flown out of sight seconds earlier.

On the following day, the incandescent bird monster stabbed gaping holes in New Jersey. Howard, unfortunately, had his binoculars trained on Manhattan. When he eventually turned his attention to New Jersey, the incandescent bird monster was long gone.

On Howard’s last day, the incandescent bird monster ate him.
