La Lechuza
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. A silhouette inside stretched out its wings, the span larger than two grown men. "This will do," it cooed. "The perfect spot for my next roost." Its yellow eyes sparkled as it took in the delightfully dilapidated abode. It grinned. Then, with its talons, it began to gash lines and curves onto the hardwood floor. An incantation floated through the air and filled the cabin like smoke, smelling of sulfur and decay. The floorboards wailed and the walls shuddered.

My Papi. Runner-Up in Dads Are No Joke Challenge.
“Did you know that I’m an alien?” my papi’s eyes twinkled mischievously, a slight smirk on his lips. He had just gotten off of work, and I had asked him to drive me to the mall so we could window shop and stroll around together. It was one of our things.
