Michael's Texas Embrace

Barnibus Doyle was not the only visitor that day.  Much to Callista’s chagrin, quite a few visitors materialized at her door.  A man dressed head-to-toe in camouflage obligingly offered to shoot the wolf-boy for her—he too had been listening to a police scanner and thought the creature would make “awful interesting jerky.”

            A man identifying himself as “Leonard from the National Park Service” wanted to verify if the creature might not belong at the wildlife reserve.  He declined to specify which wildlife reserve, and Callista sent him on his way.

            To Callista’s surprise, Marge, owner of Marge’s restaurant, showed up with a massive, ruddy man.  “We’re here to kill the monster,” she said frankly.  The chunk of granite behind her nodded.  Callista simply closed the door.
