The Massive Footprint


Detectives Romey and Pearl

Herve Best, Carpenter, reported
it from his cell and stuck
around as instructed.

“No human made that!” Pearl emitted.
And Romey started hinting
that Bell had fashioned a form

from wood and pressed it
in the mud. Bell laughed.

“Let me point out here and here!
Places where things ain’t square.

No carpenter would let that go like that.
He’d a-put the levels to it in the shop.”

“Makes sense,” Pearl shrugged.

"Then we got us a monster...”

“Or another hoax! Police
Work being a hoax a day
presently.” Spat Romey. Patrol-

person Joanne Harrel,
taking the pictures.

Went back to the car
for the molding kit, then

“What’ll I tell my future grandchildren?
With all their cop toys! Years later?
With all these jokes on us?”

“You served with distinction!” Pearl began,
“And a fool, both.” Romey finished.
