Monster Monday
Time Muncher
The Time Muncher is an omnipresent, intergalactic, Void-Being that latched itself to Earth some 200,000 years ago. Since we began surveying the astral plains is the mid-70's, there have only been 6 registered sightings of the Time Muncher so our knowledge is mostly theoretical. Even with this vast disadvantage, Astralbiologists have been able to agree on a few keys aspects of the creature:
-As it's name suggests, the muncher consumes time. It has an array of tentacles the span the planet that seek out people having fun and suck the time from them. There are many theories about what the muncher does with the time. Some believe it merely redistributes the time to people doing miserable things like standing in line or children on Christmas Eve. Other scientists postulate that the muncher is a ancient astral parasite, sapping the earth of time until it's engorged, at which point the monster will detach and seek out another time creating host. There are a few outliers that think the muncher was born in the earth and is a natural aspect of a life-supporting planet's development cycle.
-Benjamin Franklin was the earliest observer of the creature. Some historians believe he was capable of communicating with the beast and invented daylight savings time, not as a way to "save money on candles" as many believe, but to help feed to monster more regularly to free up more time for Americans during the early years of development. It's been said he created a pact with John Adams to have Ben buried with the letters he wrote to the muncher.
-The true size and shape of the Time Muncher fluctuates depending on who you ask. Between the 6 sightings, the muncher's spanned from "small dog" to "enveloping the entire sky." Most agree based on this information that the TM is capable of changing its appearance at will and presents itself to only specific individuals (hence the relationship with Ben Franklin.)

Haiku of the Day:
Sunshine pierces the
crisp, bleary chill of shimmering
pre-winter gustings
