Cow - Boy

Genre: Fantastical
Inspiration: the fat, shirtless man in the building across the road

Tony stood at the open window of his 14th floor apartment and surveyed the street below. He recognized the people he watched from high above - Carey the tent rigger with her three legged dog stopping at Starbucks for her morning Espresso, Billy the Kid (a champion canon-get-shot-out-of "er", so he called him) crossing the road and heading to work, and Fallopian Tube - "the most reproductive woman on the planet", getting onto her motorcycle in preparation for her trip to the grocery store across town. Since the United Nations, 34 years ago had disbanded and outlawed all circuses, carnivals, expositions and bake sales across the globe, Crow's Foot Montana had become a veritable metropolis of the "alternatively abled". Tony, himself a 3 legged, cow spotted 400 lb man was known as Hefty-Heifer Harold (the name "Harold" was his addition because he was a fan alliteration) and had arrived in Crow's Foot a year after it was settled on top of an abandon mining town in a mountain pasture as the Zion of freakdom by a pioneering group of French Canadian acrobats.
Since its inception, Crow's foot had grown at a rate of 370% per year to become the 4th most populous city in the United States complete with its own skyscrapers, business parks, trampoline bus stops and trapeze highways. It was from his lofty perch that Tony surveyed the street below each morning reflecting on his busy day ahead. As Time magazine had noted in its final article of the "Freak-town USA" serial trilogy - "As the Mayor of Crow's Foot no one needed a third leg more than Tony".
