The creature was in the Main Canal, swimming toward

Holmes Road.

Wilber Cotton sat in the tree by the brick wall in his backyard and smoked the first of his three cigarettes. He didn’t take deep drags because he didn’t like to cough because sometimes when he started coughing he wouldn’t stop until he barfed and he didn’t like to barf.

The smoke made him dizzy so he wedged his butt between two limbs so he wouldn’t fall and break something or kill himself. His parents would be mad if he broke something or killed himself because it would cost them money they would rather spend on beer and weed. His mom maybe might cry if he ever got killed but his dad would just be mad. Probably his mom wouldn’t cry. Probably no one would.

He smoked the cigarette down to the butt and jumped off the wall so he could throw it in the canal while it was still glowed. He flicked it into the canal and heard it sizzle and watched the dark water carry it away. He sat and listened to the sounds of laughing and drinking coming out of his house. He bet no one wanted to live by him because they were always so loud. He would move if he lived by him.

Wilber Cotton hated his life.
