LOWLIFE HIGHLIGHTS
SAD CITY
It’s late and Desiree is walking alone through the woods. Two big eyes follow her every move and the cicadas chant like a blown-out speaker, telling her, hey baby hey baby hey baby.
The monster doesn’t bother to hide, to stalk; he thinks he already owns her. But this time, the monster fucked up.
Sparks shoot from Desiree’s eyes and melt away the monster’s flesh. Her claws are pink and sharp and she lunges like a cat and takes out his eyes. She opens the monster’s carotid artery with her teeth and rolls him in a ditch to die.
She resumes her walk in the woods, and the cicadas have nothing more to say.
Crunch disguises himself as product placement and hopes no one will see him.
