Early Phone Call

by pj-poesy

My minotaur has mad cow's disease. The FDA is rounding up each one in a forty mile radius for slaughter. They're incinerating the bodies at the trash-to-steam factory. I hear gunfire and wailing children. Sharon next door is in shock. She's been on her knees down on the lawn mumbling, "please, please, please," for the last two hours. Crimson clouds bleed into sunrise. How will we escape the seepage? I'll stop at the Getty for a car wash before I pick you up. Have some sandwiches packed. O for the love of God, the moos, the moos.
