A Comet and the Pinkys
In 1947, a renegade comet called Roswell struck a major Martian city by the name of Essfor. Fortunately, the comet was the size of a tennis ball and no one was injured.
And it gave the Raccoons an idea.
They would devise the means to capture the marauding herds of Pinkys, develop space travel, and ship the creatures to the nearest planet.
Now that would be the Earth.
The Raccoons figured fifty years should do it.
It takes thirteen men to lift a baby elephant.
It would take twenty-three men to lift a baby Martian Pinky.
Put that way, it sounds like some silly form of alien finger wrestling, doesn't it?
Make no mistake. These are fearsome beasts. The dragons of their world.
Beak faced, pink skinned behemoths, they roam the soft orange sands of Mars, rubbing their faces up against anything that gets in their way.
Try washing your food in peace while these pests are in the yard.
