Unhallowed Leftovers

Once upon a time, Jana made some lovely, wonderful cheese. Since she loved her darling husband, Ron, she decided to take it home. On her way home, an chronologically gifted woman warned her that the cheese would remain in its present form for but a sennight, and would thereafter be transformed into a wyrd, unnatural creature of horror. Looking forward as she was to kisses, Jana did not heed the woman as she should.

The time came and passed, unnoticed by the blissful couple.



Flowers bloomed, faded, and swelled with fruit in their turn. Two months had gone by, and Ron and Jana were delighted with the bounty of the earth, for they were simple folk. The chronologically-gifted woman presented Ron and Jana with a large amount of peaches, warning them again that if the peaches were not enjoyed promptly, they would return as specters, swollen with horrors unknown to plague the happy couple. Ron filled two bins with these pleasant fruits, while Jana determined that she would do as the woman had said.

Jana set to with a will, eating the lovely peaches as quickly as she might. Infortuitously, Jana did not realize that the bins were numbered twain.

Together, the cheese and the remaining bin lurked unobserved, growing daily in evil and pestilence until they were mighty.



When at last Ron and Jana discovered the waxing horror, they recalled the chronologically-gifted woman and her words. Filled with grief and trepidation, the nevertheless bravely did their duty and cast forth the sponging revenants from their cottage, ne'er to return.


And they lived happily ever after.

Until they remembered about the beans.
