In the late afternoon neighbors would sit on the porch talking about the latest on the sewer monsters.  There had been a sighting by a local utility worker two days ago, on Napoleon Street. 

 The utility worker was standing by a drain that went into the sewer. He heard something splashing around and making moaning sounds.  He removed the covering from the drain, took his flash light and search all around the opening and didn’t see a thing.   Mr. Jones heard that the City Sewer Department would be sending a few workers down in order to check out this latest sighting.

Early Monday morning, the Department of Sewer workers gathered on Napoleon Street to begin their search.  They were prepared to catch anything from alligators, sewer rats, nutria, or just about anything that would be living in those dank dark stinky places.

A large crowd had gathered to witness the sewer catch.  After about two hours, the search team returned with two large sewer rats, five nutria and one alligator.  Not bad for a day’s hunting in the sewer on Napoleon Street.

This was a productive day for cleaning out monsters from the sewer. Tomorrow will bring another monster sighting from the dark tunnels of the sewers that run under the city street of New Orleans.
