In Their Own Story

The wind howled through South Park as The Coon stood atop a billboard, his raccoon mask gleaming under the streetlights. Below, a crowd gathered, cheering for their local savior. But Cartman's eyes weren't on the people; they were fixed on the reflection in his own mask. 'They need me,' he whispered to himself, ignoring Stan and Kyle's worried glances from the shadows. Tonight, he decided, was the night The Coon would save everyone—even if it meant destroying everything first.
