"The Moaning Creature" by Troy's Work Table. Frost Park Chalk Off 8:3. Friday 17 April 2015.

The Moaning Creature has been haunting me for months. It appears in the novels of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy. In Annihilation (book 1), we hear it a lot, but don't really get to see it. In Acceptance (book 3), not only do we hear it, but the author gives us a very descriptive (and chilling) look at it.
This is what the Moaning Creature looks like when I hear it!

I referenced three of my own earlier chalk pieces for additional inspiration. You'll likely notice similar elements in "Anton" (The Nightingale's Stone by David Mecklenburg); "Fruiting Bodies" (Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer); and "The Biologist" (Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer).

Maybe now I can be free of the nightmare that this creature is for a while.
