Squonks (Martin Reed)

Squonks are shy swamp creatures who are as much a pain to themselves as they are to all who see their unfortunate visage. They are a mopey almost-rodent who is prone to crying, weeping, moaning, and crying. Their blistery skin is nothing more than several layers of eczema, warts, athlete’s foot, and pus. It hangs over them like a sweater a mother gives to her child to “grow into,” but he never does. Their snouts are like barometers which always read “going to rain soon” with a footnote of “and I’m forlorn about it.” Standing no more than 3 feet tall on their hind legs, they seem avoidable at best and puntable at worst. However, this completely ignores their psychological effect on the people that stumble upon these creatures of opportunity.
