An Abundance of Moths

Chapter 4: A Visit To Your Neighbor Home To Speak of Unerving Events

        You knock gently on Wolfgang Lowers door. No answer. You knock a little harder. Still nothing. Suddenly, you hear shuffling and then a loud, slow creak of the door. Wolfgang looks at you with wilder hair than usual and large bags hanging on his eyes. "What do you want?" He asks. At first you stutter a bit and then just point up at the sky. Wolfgang looks up blankly then his eyes widen as big as a praying mantises displeasing eyes. He slowly walks out of his worn down house, eyes still looking up. He looks back you astounded. He quickly walks up his stairs and motions you inside.
     When you walk into Wolfgang's house, you are welcomed by a wide variety of things. The first thing that catches your eye is a large statue of what appears to be some type of religious figure. You believe it's Buddha, but you aren't quite sure so you ask. He says it is and then proceeds to scavenge through old newspapers forgetting your presence. You find it weird that Wolfgang is Buddhist. He's one of the most angry, impatient, loud man you know. He is basically the opposite of any other Buddhist you've heard of. Suddenly you hear Wolfgang yell "EUREKA!" and you turn sharply towards him. He is holding some kind of dooms day book. "I really doubt it's the end of the world Wolfgang. Weird stuff like these clouds happen all the time." You say as you are beginning to feel impatient with Wolfgang. "No you dumbass. This book isn't only about dooms day. It's also has reports of extraterrestrial beings and signs of them. Oh and stop calling me Wolfgang I go by Wolf." He then begins to flip through his book looking for something that could maybe explain what's happening. "Wolfga- I mean Wolf, do you think my unknown source may have something to do with this? Or maybe the so called moths they talked about in their brief letter to me?" Wolf ignores you still searching for something. You shrug and begin looking at all of Wolf's little trinkets and collections. You find that eats a lot of oranges for he has an assortment of orange peels lined up neatly next to each other. You grimace. Oranges disgust you. Right next to the orange peels are a wide variety of dried centipedes. This also makes you frown because of the nightmare you recently had about a centipede. "NOTHING" Wolf says slamming his book and throwing it across the room. You stare at him silently while he slumps back in his chair angrily. You walk slowly towards him and gently put your hand on his shoulder. "Maybe the gentlemen staying at my house know what is wrong." Wolf looks up at you and asks "Who's staying at your house? Who the hell would come all the way to the middle of nowhere to visit you?" Well these two large cockroaches who are good pals with my unknown source." You say as if it were obvious. "Your a strange man Rich." Wolf says chuckling. "Call me Ricky." You say finally being able to have someone- a friend to call you the nickname you always wanted. "Whatever you say, Ricky."
