'A Day In The Life' by Suzanne Hicks

Mothman wakes when the sun comes up. He’s a big believer in honoring your circadian rhythm. Too bad he’s a night owl. He brushes his teeth (no, they aren’t pointy), washes his face, and applies a moisturizer (yes, he knows the importance of a good skincare routine), but he doesn’t need to dress because you could say his look is ready-to-wear. He hides away during the daytime, watching his stories, playing NYT puzzles, exercising (cardio is critical to keep up his flying chops), and reading books. Truth is, he stands out too much in daylight. Even on a cloudy day. Once night comes, he ventures out. Tries to stay out of sight. Because despite what everyone thinks, he’s not trying to scare anyone. He doesn’t know why doom follows him around. But he’s working on himself. Taking up meditation and posting motivational memes online (okay, yes, he stole the password for a nearby house’s WiFi, but that’s not the point). Because maybe he’s not that different. A cryptid, yes, but perhaps he’s also just a man hoping to find a place where he can belong in this world.
