Monstrous Stone Mollusk

by Scott Holcomb
Geologists claim that the canyons in Utah are a result of wind and rain that erode the layers of rock. What they are hiding from the public is that a hideous ancient species of marauding stone slug periodically emerges from the rock and 'grazes' through the landscape, creating the complex system of canyonlands that this area is famous for. These horrific geologic rock mollusks are surprisingly fast and will devastate anything in their path.
I risked it all when I stumbled upon one of the monstrous creatures, squeezing off a single shot from a Pentax 6 X 7 film camera before fleeing to save my life. I plan to submit this photographic proof to the news outlets, exposing the government coverup and to finally reveal the truth to the public!


This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6X7 1:4.5/75 lens with a HOYA HMC 82mm O[G]) filter using Adox CHS 100 II film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
