In the real world Fallon, Nevada, there is a mascot known as the Greenwave or Gurka, as some locals call it. This angry wave of alfalfa has always been a curious point of conversation in the small farming community.
Now this mascot comes to life as a monster of myth and legend.
This novella will take you one step to the left of reality, and twist this creature into a monster that is focused on mayhem and destruction. Twisting history and local lore into a brand new legend for a new generation.
In the 1850s, the Pyramid Lake War broke out. The peaceful Tribe of the Crow in the Lahontan Valley wanted nothing to do with their neighbors' war. When thirteen brave men went to turn down the Tribe of the Lake, they were cut down and cursed to hunt their peaceful friends of the Fallon settlement forever. Their souls, twisted by the Lake Tribe's hatred, the thirteen become the Gurka of the fields.
Every ten years the Gurka rise from the summer fields and bring blood and death to the small desert town of the Great Basin. Will rumor and myth be enough to save Fallon when these monsters rise again?
Waves of Green is a direct continuation of the short story Greenwave found only found in my debut short story collection, Shadows of the Great Basin: A Haunting Collection of Desert Tales. While you do not have to have read Greenwave to read Waves of Green, it makes for a large picture of this twisted version of Fallon, Nevada.
