Thanks to my son, I have seen some of the Alien movies.

He and his friends delight in using our second floor as a space ship in which they play Alien versus Predator.

I think the sliding doors in the bathroom help remind them of the movie set.

So, Keely Cat is sitting peacefully on the kitchen counter hoping that someone will open the cabinet door where the little box of cat “candy” is kept.

He gets about there a day, usually when my wife returns from work.

Clearly, the fish smelling and shaped treats are the highlight of his day.

Then this strange creature appears.

“Is it the dreaded 75% Crystal Lake Sales Tax Hike?” wonders Keely.

“I’m not sure I know what Mayor Aaron Shepley’s sales tax hike looks like.

“Could this be it?

“It sure is scary.

“Cat Daddy said it would scare people away from Crystal Lake.

“If this is what it looks like, I can see why.”
