Silas

September 13, 2007,
Silas idly rubs his turquoise sewing machine in a constant circular motion, procrastinating from sewing another stitch from the fear of getting the essence of his prompt incorrect. This Tuesday, he was commissioned to create a wedding dress that “represented the empty soul of Mother Nature at her worst moments.” And he decided to start on it this Wednesday. But now there’s a problem… he can barely comprehend what the hell his assignment even means! “Mother Nature at her worst moments”… maybe a dead flower pattern..? Eeghh… He groans, his elbow sliding against the old wood of his workshop table as he slumps in his chair. If his commissioner wasn’t so damn cryptic, he would’ve had this done the same day he was assigned and submitted it on Thursday — or better yet, Friday, since that’s the day it’s due — so that future clients wouldn’t pressure him with quicker deadlines… just as he gets lost in his thoughts about completely giving up on this project, there arises such a startling ¡THUMP! that it takes him a few moments to fully process it came from his tailor shop. His delicate hands — somehow not calloused from years of miracle making with fabric — slide down the smooth serger as he rises from his seat.. that sounded like it came from the showroom…
Thrrp.. thrp…
… What the fuck was that?
…
That was definitely a moth. 100%. No doubt. That was way too loud to be a butterfly or something, way too loud to even be a normal sized moth. No, this thing is huge. He regrets envisioning the absolute beast of a pest and a thousand ways of eliminating it cross his mind — all of which would make an exterminator blush — . He opens the door, considering lighting his whole shop ablaze while imagining his life’s work completely torn apart by this thing. However, when he gets a good look at the moth it looks uncannily… human..? Humanoid… looking… anthropomorphic enough so that he can stifle a blood curdling scream
