Mr_Crocodile Wrote:Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs; the Nile shall swarm with frogs which shall come up into your house, and into your bedchamber and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and of your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls; the frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’”

...

That is way too serious of an introduction to a story about two competent idiots fighting an army of frogs.

Notes:
Fun Fact: There is a long-standing debate on whether the Second Plague which struck Egypt at the time of Moses was made up of a multitude of frogs or just a singular frog of an uncanny nature.

See the end of the chapter for more notes.

Like most other stories in this anthology, this one was inspired by a monster/horror movie sub-genre. Specifically, this one was a slightly-more-serious homage to the SyFy channel's monster movies. You know the ones, right? With the nonsensical monsters, the corny dialogue, the action-comedy couple who end up making out at the end, the overly gory ending?

I haven't even watched one of said movies in years, to be honest, but6 I used to do so religiously when I was a kid. I can only hope I did a good job and created an interesting read, that, after all, is my job as a writer.

Beware of Chicken. The Demons return (but not those demons)

She’s certainly not from the sentient world known as Mogo, the Green Lantern of Sector 2261 and where the two recent Hogwarts graduates will soon be visiting.
No, she’s not from Earth at all. She’s the Witch Who Fell to Earth.
“It’s only Apparition, Hermione. With a longer range, and without disturbing the Wrackspurts in hyperspace.”

Quote:Lerwa Lopez is a mighty warrior of Gaia. Trained from a young age in the arts of stealth and sabotage, she has inherited a mighty burden, and knows it well.

Now, she must put her training to use, and come face-to-face with the greatest challenge the World of Darkness can provide a young Garou:

Public High School.
