Of Montreal Lechithin's Tale Of A Dna Experiment That Went Horribly Awry


Here I sit planted in the mud. A mushroom of melted
molecules. Where language has been reduced we can only
use abbreviations. skjlb hjkgdfn uji AhFGsd uWiaAn.
Here comes the pony that one the Tony. There were flaws
in the experiment I'll tell you bout it if you're
interested to know It was creepy the way they hovered
above end swooped down on the children. Their mouths
agape exposing fangs of fire. run children run!

The three legged hyena cicadas migrated to the small
northern sea port village called Durschfuch. The
horrible insects congregated above the Durschfuch
elementary school and would spend an indecent amount of
time circling the playground. The citizens of the
village were very alarmed by these new visitors, but
since they were a God fearing community and were not
allowed to bring any harm to any of God's creations,
they had to pretend to ignore the large grotesque
arthropods and continue on with their lives as if there
weren't any menacing predators swooping over their
offspring. In time the hyena cicadas became hungry and
this in when the real terror ensued. As I stated
earlier, the adults of the village, thought the best
course of action was to pretend the insects didn't
exist and continued to send the children out to the
playground for recess. Every day the same thing
occurred; the children would stand apprehensively at
the threshold of the front gate until the teachers
ordered them outside to "play", then the children would
run terrified towards the shelter of the banyan trees
that formed an oval around the perimeter of the school
yard. There they would spend the duration of recess
huddling together under the trees, shaking with fear.
For the first few weeks the children managed each day
to narrowly cheat death by hiding below the trees.
Eventually the hyena cicadas became mad with hunger and
resolved to become more aggressive in their attempt to
eat the children. One of the more intelligent cicadas,
who happened to be the most famished of all of them,
had the idea that some of the flock should hide among
the foliage of the banyan trees while the others
swooped over the children as usual. Then when all of
the children were in their normal positions under the
trees, the hyena cicadas hiding in the branches would
descend upon them and kill them. After that all of the
flonk could gather under the trees for a delicious
feast. His plan worked perfectly and the adults of the
village watched helplessly as the hyena cicadas
ravenously devoured their beloved young ones
