He sensed the presence of Mothdog, it had been a number of years since its last sighting

Blissfully unaware, the contents of the shopping are slowly making a break for freedom Cornflakes and tins go flying through the air

They came crashing down to earth sadly just like Mothman

No sand could stop Mothman.

He had found civilization

A mere snack

The trail of corn flakes, cans and milk changed the landscape

Onward bound the elements would not stop him on this quest

Mothman’s collectors item plastic bag had finally worn through, but there’s no point crying about spilt milk

Crumps of cornflakes were a fine substitute.

Batlow Australia New South Wales late 1998

Adolf the duck was roaming around the farm when it began to rain heavily mesmerised by the moths, he had never seen so many moths in peril

Weight of rain is the enemy of fragile wings. Flight was simply not possible

he placed this hand into the puddle to save them one by one.

He took them into this dwelling and placed each one gently onto the drying clothes inside.

The warmth brought flight back to the moths. they spiralled around the room.

A few hours later he awoke‌..

His girlfriend's frustration fell on deaf ears

The clothes were saturated with moth eggs as dozens of moths lay lifeless.

He was no longer the man he once was. he was golden like the sun yet surround by Failure.
