The Kilgore Monster
Mac Gregor ran the local tavern in the village of the tiny island of Kilgore off the Scottish coastline. Fishing was the village’s livelihood, until the day that a monstrous creature began terrorizing the seas and devouring any and all fish in the area. Local fisherman, Sean Campbell became determined to slay this beast and bring peace to the waters of Kilgore. Before setting sail for his hunt, Campbell paid a visit to Mac Gregor’s Tavern for a last drink and to bid goodbye to his beloved Laura who worked there. She was wary of Campbell’s hunt, both because she feared for his safety, and because of an old prediction she had once heard that stated: “The monster will bring misery each time it wakes but the village will be doomed if ever it be slain.” Campbell didn’t believe in this riddle though, and so he soon departed, promising Laura that he would marry her once he returned.
With a veritable fleet of fellow fisherman by his side, Campbell sailed to the monster’s last known location. After a long and arduous hunt, Campbell readied his explosive harpoon and fired at the monster, scoring a direct hit. The beast flailed about wildly in its death throes, and in its final leap, Campbell saw Laura’s warning come true, as it turned out that the island of Kilgore had been built on the enormous monster’s back. With its death, the Kilgore Monster and the village of Kilgore sank into the depths of the sea, never to be seen again. Only a handful of villagers managed to survive the cataclysm, but whether Mac Gregor was among them was left uncertain.
