The Secret Beasts Buried In the Highway

When I was a boy, I used to think those mounds of dirt in the median strip on the interstate were great monsters and I used to be scared they would come to life one day and terrorize me.

With their great spines lined with flowers and bushes, they would rise up and breath electricity into oncoming traffic.

I know that's foolish now.

Those great beasts were hidden there to protect us.
