Part XIV

(With the Monster trapped, Brooks, Ghana, Michelle and Andy remain at loggerheads)

Mewling in fear

‘What the fuck is it?’

Brooks said eventually

‘It’s crippled or killed

Nearly a dozen men

Alone tonight

And we suspect

Maybe dozens more

Over the past two weeks’

Mapping her words

Ghana paused

‘It’s a long story,

Albert’

‘They’ve called in the Army

And the press are asking questions,

Ghana’

‘It’s mankind’s last great protecter’

She said.

‘And now mankind’s great killer’

Andy cut in.
