It’s snack time. What do you crave?
Maybe something salty-crunchy will get you through the day, perhaps saved over from lunch. Or something sweet from the office breakroom? Then again, a bag full of both might fulfill your wants and fill your belly.

Gibson needed a job.
He needed to work for many reasons: to forget what he lost, to forget his wife, to stay clean. He needed a job because his parole officer said he did, so when the counselor at the halfway house hooked him up for an interview with the world’s biggest performer, it seemed like a small lifeline.
She warned him that Monster (the name the guy preferred) was weird.
“Weird” didn’t even touch what this guy was, though.
