==Synopsis==
The story describes a brief encounter of a well-armed man with a Mi-Go "summoned up by by some pimply faced cultists" while he simultaneously attempts to order something to eat at a local diner. After first chasing it off with a heavy-caliber handgun, he then tracks it with a large-bore sniper rifle, killing the creature when it is backlit by nearby Fourth of July fireworks.
