Spinning saucers streak across night sky, shimmering lights blazing. The herd gazes upwards with polite vacancy, chewing cud.
“Food? Foe? Fear?” flits through their collective minds.
White beams shoot downward, illuminating black-spotted beasts of burden.
Touched by the finger of God (or something else?), thoughts blossom within once barren brains: “Slaughtered for meat? Stripped of milk? Pull the plow?” Unknown emotions; anger, grief, and hate bloom.
Gazes settle on the farmhouse, humans safely tucked in beds.
Communally, the herd stamps forward, pushing fences aside, leaving swirls of dust in their wake.
Murder on their minds.
Human meat.
Human milk.
REVENGE.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
