"Don't feel too bad for that guy," Dash advised. "I know him from tending bar at the Lodge. Lousy tipper, mean drunk."

He gestured at the t-shirt. "He's not even on the Loyal Order's bowling team," he said. "Just wears that because he thinks it makes him look cool."

He shook his head in disgust.

"Oh, well then," said Janet, with withering sarcasm. "What a monster. I guess he deserved a venomous kelpie bite."

"All I'm saying," said Dash, "Is that Eerie won't miss one more lawnmower-riding jackass who thinks he knows more about corn whiskey than he actually does."

The mermaid's tail was long and eel-like. Mottled grey-brown, it curled beneath her human torso in a way that could have suggested a skirt, if the person suggesting it was more willing to believe in slithering coils of petticoat than the existence of carnivorous fish-women.

She leaned forward, candy-apple red lips sparkling in the sun as she whispered something into the Kelpie's ragged ears.

The kelpie released the man's arm with a wet popping sound. The man staggered back, his skin slime-slick and reddened but seemingly unharmed. He laughed nervously.

"Poor man," said Janet. "Twenty-four hours, he's jelly and bones."

"You're right," said Dash. "I meant to say lamprey."

They watched as the kelpie nosed at a handful of wilted greenery being shoved at it by a man in a faded Shucker's Bowlathon shirt. It's snout distended and split, revealing wet, pink flesh coated in a thousand yellow-white barbs. Viscous drool formed sticky webs across it's open maw as it lowered soft lips over vegetation and fingers alike.

The man went very pale, very suddenly.

"How much did you charge that guy?" Janet asked.

"Enough," said Dash. "Since he's not going to be able to get his wallet out again."

The Teller's living room was crowded, but quiet. Edgar clasped Marilyn's hand in both of his, while she held Simon tight with the other. Harley pressed close against his brother's legs. Melanie and Janet crammed together on the arm of the sofa, Devon wrapped so tight around them that he was barely visible. Marshall stood beside the radio, staring at it as if he could pressure it into delivering up better news. Syndi leaned against the wall, notebook forgotten in her hand, while Tod McNulty chewed black-painted nails down to a chipped ruin beside her.

The radio hiccupped with static, it's messages garbled and distorted by outside interference. Still, through the pop and hiss of the fading signal, some things could be heard.

Quarantine. Shut downs. A plea to a frightened populace to remain indoors. Looting. Stockpiling. Riots at the Eerie Mall. Shortages. The sky falling. A man arrested for breaking containment. Something else arrested for breaking containment. A house reduced to rubble by the falling sky.

The Shuckers Bowl-a-thon Hall of Fame Inductees. Euclid Daganfort, again declining to accept the honour. Mrs. Walter-Funke, brimming with pride as her husband's name was called.

Edgar Teller.

The room erupted with cheers.

It's the 14th of the month, and that's the date we put aside to think about all those amazing minor characters, places, organisations and general backdrop that make Eerie so compellingly watchable.

This month's theme is: Shuckers Bowlathon
