Moribund the Shadow Thing moped over the cowering figure of Derp the Dwarf like a string mop stood on its handle.
“You bought her WHAT??”
“A-a box of chocolates,” Derp whined, wiping his toadstooly nose.
Moribund slapped his forehead. Glenda Gloop, the Under the Sink Thing, was not a chocolates kind of gal.
“Why not a moldy sponge? You know, something she might actually LIKE?”
Derp sighed.
“Everyone gets her moldy things. I wanted to surprise her.”
“We need to rethink this.”
Moribund popped one of the chocolates and slowly chewed.
“I really hate Valentine’s Day.”
