Chapter #2Are You Ready for the Summer by: Unknown You decide to take a trip to Summer Side and as such, you figure you’d have some fun in the sun, so you run up to the walkway Phyllis put in for the humans. You take the escalator up to the “bus” stop. Of course, this was no ordinary bus stop. There were several other humans waiting for Hera Hind, the Ceryneian Hind who acts as the taxi in Screamtown. Phyllis appointed her in charge of human transportation.
You hear thunderous foot steps and suddenly Hera appears in front of the bus stop. “All aboard that’s going aboard,” says the hind giantess. All the humans board different areas on Hera’s body and Hera then looks down at you. “Where you riding today kid?” she asks. One thing about Hera, she let humans choose where they got to ride.
Today you decide to ride on top of Hera’s head and she lowers her head for you to climb up her antlers. You could feel them and discovered that true to the myth, they were solid gold. You climb up and sit down on a ruby lodged on one of the tips and sit down on it before Hera zooms off. How she could move so fast at her height with her massive belly, you didn’t understand.
Soon, she reaches a ramp and lets the humans down as they make their way to the beach. As you walk down the ramp towards the beach, you suddenly start to breathe heavily. You forgot that Summer Side was the hottest part of the town. Most monsters that lived here were either fire or water elementals born for tropical weather. By the time you finally reach the beach, you’re drenched in your own sweat and gasp as you catch your breath. A nearby gargoyle accidentally spills a bottle of juice and you run under the orange shower to cool off. You forget how monster climates can be treacherous to tiny humans.
But once you’re cooled off from the unbearable sunshine, you walk off onto the beach and see several monsters sunbathing, playing volleyball and even sailing. You even walk past a wereseal woman sunbathing on her stomach as human children are playing on it. You let out a smile and look out to see several surfers. One of the surfers was a close friend of yours; Josephine Biggs. Josephine was a grootslang, a monstrous cross between an elephant and a snake. She had the body of a pachyderm but the skin of a reptile with a serpent for a trunk. She sometimes let you surf with her. However, there was one thing she did that scared you. Josephine liked to hover her planetary rear a few inches away from your head and make it look like she was going to sit on you. She loved to tease you that way but one day you’re afraid she’s going to flatten you for real.
You then look ahead and notice the high school in the distance. At this time, school should be getting out. You remember that one of the students at the school lived around here; Manami Urameshi, the friendly hellhound. Her family consisted mainly of hellhound girls and human guys. Maybe you’ll see Manami coming home from school today. Manami was very petite compared to the older monster girls, but you laugh to yourself because you know it won’t laugh. In Screamtown all the female monsters wind up either sumo-sized or in Phyllis and Desdemona’s cases, muscular enough to make the Hulk look like a twig.
Suddenly you stop because you remembered a potential hazard. Kandi Zotz. Kandi was a giant elderly werebat and the biggest cougar you’ve ever seen in terms of size and personality. The old crone wasn’t bad looking for her age and she knew it. She was so lonely that she would spend her days combing the beach for human men. She snatches them up, takes them to her lair and then things get wild. One traumatized victim even told you he was trapped in her nether-regions for days. That bat was bad news. She almost grabbed you one time but you hid inside a bottle before she could snatch you. Why hasn’t she been arrested?
And of course, there was that annoying sphinx Alex. She loved playing mean pranks on people, especially humans. One time when you were sunbathing, you fell asleep and while you were sleeping she tied you to a balloon. She’s usually harmless but before she moved to Screamtown, she had a human boyfriend. She caught him cheating on her and bit his head off. As much as you hate Alex’s stupid pranks, you don’t want to anger her.
Perhaps a nice swim with do you some good, maybe you’ll even see that mermaid artisan Joanne. Oh, what to do, what to do?
