So within a blink I was told my gift had been shipped. How strange I thought, how could someone have found out about my secret so quickly. Only I would have to wait, for the prize that I was told about would be coming from over seas, the Orient. Days and nights past, others have received their gifts but not I.

Final through the my ability to scry I knew the parcels had arrived. Swiftly I moved from my lair and opened the slot where the packages should be. Alas! The letter man had not left what I was told but a missive, I must gather these in person...

It was too late to assault the fortress that held what had been sent. So I waited and pondered my plan as night fell. Before dawn had broke I had gone to a place few want to end up, the United States Post Office. I handed over their cryptic note and in return I was handed two packages.

I had to wait still for the sun to fall to open these prizes, but it was worth it.

The first where the chilling teeth to have others join the ranks, simple really, fill the coffin, place in a cold dark place and wait.

The other this goblet for wine some would say but nay I have had other tasty things in it. I could let you in on exactly what it was but as a predecessor of mine said, “The blood is the life.”

This was very much a happy Halloween.
