In Their Own Story
The neon lights of the Hollywood sign flickered, casting long shadows over the deserted boulevard. Duke kicked open the door of a trashed souvenir shop, a cigar clenched between his teeth. 'Time to give these alien directors a bad review,' he muttered, racking his shotgun. The roar of a Pig Cop echoed from the Grauman's Chinese Theatre replica, and Duke grinned. The show was about to begin—and these extraterrestrial extras were about to get their final close-up.
