A few of the short short stories I included in Quarantine Monster Shorts were inspired by some of the weirder news stories of 2020 where I gave supernatural/paranormal/ridiculous reasons for them happening. I decided to share a brief explanation of those news stories in case you forgot. Here is the fifth one. Enjoy!
Another 2020 story that I would've never seen coming (2020 you wily bitch): Meth Gators.
Police were concerned (reports vary at how sincere the concern was) that flushing meth down the toilet could lead to alligators eating it downstream. I can see why a methed-out gator would be a serious issue considering how unpredictable and aggressive they can be when sober.

But think of how clean the swamps would be.
Look for "It's Not Meth" in Quarantine Monster Shorts, coming October 2021
