HONKER

Backstory

Honker comes from an unknown mystical island where human-like animals are born with musical instruments as parts of their body. Honker is the older twin brother of Honkzart (name in progress). Unlike his younger brother who was a musical genius since birth, Honker has trouble finding his "sound." Despite not being musically adept like all the other creatures on the island, he is not discouraged, and won't give up until he can play beautiful music from his trumpet beak. Honker was born from an egg five seconds after his older brother. After being discovered by a young boy, Honker finds out he needs the boy to make "music," and he moves to the human world with him where they become best friends and have crazy adventures.

 Short Story

Driving pass the speed limit through the roads of an urban Los Angeles, Honker stomps on the breaks as he is abruptly stopped by a toll booth. The car makes a large screeching noise as it gets closer and closer to the toll booth. The car luckily stops right before the booth where it asks for fifty cents. Honker, reaches for his wallet, and takes it out to find out it's completely empty, just a few pieces of lint. In a panic, Honker takes off and searches his entire car at lightning speed. He finds money laying around, but the toll booth only takes exact change. Honker calms himself down, and takes out his phone, and pulls up his web browser. He searches up, "what happens when you can't pay the toll booth?" Unaware of his surroundings, a long line of cars start lining up behind him, cursing and honking at Honker's car. Taking forever, and still looking at his phone, an impatient giant man who looks like he was a gangster/serial killer in the car behind Honker's gets out. With a grouchy look on his face, he walks towards Honker's car, and plops his hands onto the car's door. Wetting his pants, scared, Honker shivers as he looks up at the giant man. The man gives Honker an intense stare which instantly turns into a cheerful happy face (like this ^__^), and asks, "need some change?" He puts in fifty cents into the toll booths, and tells Honker to have a wonderful day. Honker replies, "thanks!" and drives off. Honker's luck saves him again as he was able to get through the booth without having to pay the toll. Honker drives off into the sunset as he wonders what interesting adventures would he have that night.
