Behemoth

It waddles across the landscape an untidy blubbering mess that cannot hide its hugeness its folds of flabby flesh Its expanding multiple chins increases its oozing girth a monstrous shape that maneuvers to threaten the planet earth It moves like a massive shadow with its striking stature and depth it destroys the people's planet with one smothering crushing step

PHANTOM

The newspaper reported he was the kind of kid who rode home on a crowded school bus sitting alone looking out a window Silent shy socially awkward he kept to himself He appeared in a nightmare I had after that morning at Sandy Hook I only saw him from the back moving quickly from a car carrying a rifle shooting his way through a locked glass door Then I woke up cold sweaty a knot in my stomach I never saw his face in the nightmare... just him moving quickly like a phantom in a hurry
