The sewage pool began to bubble, then to swirl. Keith was sure he saw an eyeball staring out of the muck. Thunder clapped nearby.
There was a loud popping, plopping sound, and a terrible stench filled the air.
A 6-7 foot tall man shaped disgusting mass of oozing sewage stood on the catwalk. It growled softly. Keith stared at the huge monster hood on the naked creature. Maybe it was Chad?
"Oh, uh, I knew you might be pissed," snickered Keith reciting part of his prepared speech. He gawked at the muck monster he had created. He continued, "Chad? Uh, Chad, I summoned you back from your watery grave, you are compelled to obey me." Then he let out a nervous laugh, and ad libbed, "Oh, shit! I never expected this. You reek. You're like Swamp Thing - kinda? I'll figure something out-"
He was interrupted by a siren, and the sound of approaching feet running.
"Quick, back in the sewage pond. Come to my house at 11PM tonight, Chad!"
The monster paused, then obeyed.
Less than a minute later Keith's uncle appeared.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sorry, unc, I didn't stay where you left me, but I heard a loud noise, and went to investigate. Did something happen?"
"You could say that. The phone calls started coming in a few minutes ago. All over town, toilets and urinals exploded with fountains of sewage erupting from their broken remains." He looked shaken.
He took a breath, and continued, "You said you heard a noise, what was it?"
Keith replied truthfully, "well, it sounded like a popping and then plopping sound and there was a thunder clap."
"Hm, lightning ignited the sewer gas? Maybe? Keith, I've got a lot of work to do. You best go home, now."
Keith obliged. As he left the plant, he rubbed his talisman and whispered, "See you tonight, Chad!"
