It was early morning when the townspeople of Point Pleasant, West Virginia came out onto the streets. As usual, several of them said hello to the glittering six packed, caked up mothman statue in their town square. The local manager of the Piggly Wiggly, Stan Kelsin though noticed something strange. All along the back of mothman right above his beautiful sculpted ass someone had graffitied it with what looked like a tribal tattoo.
“Who would do such a thing?” he wondered.
He walked to his store, he opened up and came back with soap and water in a bucket. He set to work wiping it off. A feeling of hometown pride swelling in his heart.
From a distance, the mothman watched as the man undid his handiwork. He would have to make the tattoo on his statue permanent like the one on his body. He had already tried putting a cowboy hat on it last week but they had gotten rid of that too. He tipped his hat to them and took flight.
