Werewolves
There’re werewolves in the street, drinking coffee and energy drinks in attempt to be more human. “We don’t eat meat,” they all say. - But their humanity is up to the moon and whatever Gods of Night these wolfmen praise.
“How to be more P.C.,” the people wonder and so throw away their fears and next thing you know, women are sleeping with the wolves, downing their big wolf rockets like real troopers and conceiving wolf babies. Within weeks you see headlines of botched werewolf abortions and snarling wolf babies found in dumpsters by unsuspecting Hispanic dishwashers that yell “iAye, que!”
“This just in!” beep beep beep “Werewolves are being raped by Texans and werewolf drug abuse has skyrocketed! It’s a media SENSATION, praise their Pagan gods!” beep beep
Nielsen TV ratings for wolven sitcoms are up, up, and away and “wolf frenzy” is dangerously hip. Wolf is the new Black, the new British Invasion, Latin Invasion, Martian Invasion and they all go out to get mopey haircuts or spikey highlights and platinum canines.
After several months though, the werewolves are OUT and old-fashioned yuppie scum circa 1984 are IN.
“Who cares,” shout the werewolves, “we’re no fad!”
“We’re children of the moon,” they say.
But they have a hard time finding health care and soon HIV and fleas are rampant in their community.

Heeey, a new musical composition, huzzah! This has broken me out of my "eight chapters of Anatomy to study for a test happening in less than an hour" blues. *cough, cough*
I love the weird satire here (I don't know why, but I'm flashing on Native Americans as the werewolves, probably b/c that gives me the opportunity to think about skinwalkers), as it's fairly subtle in construction. The only bit that was too obvious, in my opinion, was the newscast's
"It’s a media SENSATION, praise their Pagan gods!”" I can see what you're going for, tone-wise, but it's a little much.
"“How to be more P.C.,” the people wonder " this seems a bit clunky, and upsets your nice rhythm a little.
Oookay, back to the studying. (Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter Most--Sensory, Sensory, Motor, Motor, Both, Motor, Both, Sensory, Both, Both, Motor, Motor--the functions of the twelve cranial nerves in order, woo-hoo!) |
