Of Sewers and Flukemen
Joseph D’Lacy posted a link to some interesting video on his Facebook profile that is reportedly some kind of life form living in a sewer. The video is found below. When I watched it my amazement at life’s ability to thrive in the most unlikely of places (such as the deep ocean thermal vents), and my interests in cryptozoology (I am a fan of the History Channel’s program MonsterQuest) came together and collided with my sense of the grotesque. I also had a flashback to The X Files television program (“The Host,” Season 2) with one of its best episodes that featured a giant tapeworm creature called Flukeman, a genetic mutation spawned by contact with nuclear waste that lived in the sewers. There’s another horror story and creature for the big screen or television in here somewhere.
