"Man Bites Dog"
42-page book made of fur, teeth, skin and bones

Kathy Forer, Roger Stevens

story so far: 14 wolverines and one lap dog chase a badger. But the 
badger is too fast and burrows beneath a paintbrush stuck in a stone. 
In the burrow are mushrooms and grain. The badger makes a badger 
ambrosia of the grain and mushrooms and is soon asleep. Hours later, 
the badger is awakened by the noise of wood against stone. It is night 
and the lap dog is yapping. The wolverines have surrounded the stone 
and are chanting an incantation. The badger doesn't breathe, not a 
whisker moves.

It was a dense night. Stumble patterns and brave yapping set apart the
party of owl elves and gnome mimics as they writhed and chased and
spurned the undergrowth around the latest beige badger silting. In the
brave distance behove the strange and incandescent foreshadows of
wolverines and greenish melon lights upon the substantial forest fare.

Young Zonograph, the tallest owl elf snuffed his warps harp and muttered
-
I can hear a badger. The badger is in trouble. I scents wolverines.
Hurry there is no stone unready ton roll upturned in this lackadaisical
pre-momentary of the word fandango.
