Our next story is from a series of holiday posts we’re going to do. The stories are all from the unpublished collaborative effort of myself and the very talented Nicholas Bennett. his grip was poor, his feet unsureFor the first time on the net the stories from the long awaited…..Christmas: or, Won't you bury my corpse tonight? one christmas night, there was no light when santa came a'calling and so he wound up falling the following day, the children say it wasn't very pleasant they looked around, but soon they found there weren't any presents for several years its been quite clear that santa clause has left us but no one knew the story true of how he had bereft us poor jacob sty discovered why through circumstances daunting he awoke one night in such a fright the victim of a haunting the ghost would cry, to jacob sty "oh, oh I'm not so chipper I'll break your toys and make foul noise melt chocolate in your slippers I miss my wife I miss my elves my workshop in the ice caps my countless lists on countless shelves my special room for gift wraps this is no jest I cannot rest I need my body covered if left to rot, I'll haunt this spot as long as I'm above earth" now jacob said, with a clear head because he was not fearful "I've heard you yell for quite a spell you've given me an earful I know it's rough, you've had enough this fate that you've been scorning I'll bury you, I tell you true the first thing in the morning" the ghost then cheered and disappeared and jacob got to sleeping when morning came, his mind had changed his word he'd not be keeping the ghost emerged, that woeful scourge to find that Jake was leaving he felt betrayed, he had been played and so he started grieving "my soul is stuck, I'm out of luck I'm trapped in this dilemma" "we're heading out, you need not shout I don't know what to tell ya" and Jake's retort, though somewhat short was clear and very smarting the last thing Santa's ghost would hear was Jacob's car a'starting. though your birthday is only a few days away your presents stay hidden until the big day and if you're impatient and want to go look you'd better be thankful you picked up this book for if you go looking for presents well hid you'll find a large creature who feeds upon kids he lives in the closet and waits in the black until your nice parents want those presents back it's best not to wander too close to the door for he's caught a great many and would gladly catch more so children be patient and keep a cool head just give up your search and return to your beds! |
