He Always Thought Women Were Angelic

When Mark was growing up, he always thought women
were angelic.

They seemed above the follies and the violence
of men.

As he grew older he met some women who
challenged his belief.

But he wasn’t dissuaded until he met the woman
he thought was his first true love.

Her name was Hannah Flores and she was beautiful
and seemed incredibly nice.

Their courtship was as romantic and loving as scenes
out of a romantic movie.

After a year of marital bliss, Mark didn’t see what was coming
when Hannah took out a million dollar insurance plan on him.

Shortly after that he saw the evil in her eyes when
the darkness in her soul came out.

And he realized he was wrong about all women
being angelic.

Right before a shot rang out and he gasped and
fell to the ground dead.

The guy that she’d been seeing held the
smoking gun.

And maybe Mark went to heaven where
the real angelic women live.

Spring and You

Spring is peeping through the month of March.
It yawns as it begins to wake up from frosty seasons.
It begins to stretch as flowers prepare to bud and bloom
and leaves are getting ready to decorate the trees
and the earth is becoming beautifully renewed.
It reminds me of when we first fell in love
and everything was so wondrous and new.

Enter Owlman

On April 17, 1976 Owlman made his frightening debut.
Two young girls, Vicky and June Melling, saw him hovering above a church in a village in Mawnan, England.
And they described him as a feathered-bird man. It had pointed ears, glowing red eyes and large crab claws for feet.

It was seen again on July 3 by two other young girls, Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry. Big as a man with glowing eyes and pincer-like claws.

Sparse sightings of Owlman in and around that village church continued through the 70s, 80s and 90s.

In June of 2020 a husband and wife said while driving on Kirchoff Road in Rolling Meadows, Illinois USA, they saw a creature as big as an SUV with large massive wings they described as an owl man.

Now I’m not a believer in an Owlman, but I find these stories fascinating and a fun distraction from the routines of everyday life.

Of course, it might be that cryptids like Owlman are real and appear and disappear in dimensions inaccessible to us. Bigfoot, for example, could be an interdimensional creature when hunters who allege to have seen him say when they shot at him he vanished.

Cryptids, real or unreal, monsters or imaginations, I’ve never seen any of them.

I’ve seen enough monsters among men.
