Fate of a Yeti
There lived a Yeti named Greghou
who lived on top of mount Kathmandu, in his ghoulish castle with his watchful vassal
the young and pretty Florine. Greghou’s face was marred by the horrid snowstorms
but his eyes had kept the glow of the kid he was. He chased after lost
travelers trapped in the Himalayan weather making their fate far more bitter by
sticking his dagger in and out of their liver. Florine made a wonderful stew of
limbs and organs that she served her master in the family room. It wasn’t much
of family room though, as Greghou’s father had died some years earlier from a
terrible disease cast by man, making the young Greghou the last remnant of a
dying species. Greghou hadn’t always been this morbid and had expressed his
passion for becoming the greatest Yeti dancer the world had ever known. His father
had laughed and replied: “My dear son, you see this portrait of your
great-great-great-great-grandfather the brave Isaker, he first came here 400
years ago and killed humans until his dying days. It is then your duty as it
was mine to keep doing what we have always done and maintain our prideful ways;
to kill, eat and sleep.”
So when Florine
asked him why he was in such a macabre mood he got very angry and told her it
was his duty to feast on human flesh, and that frankly she was getting quite
too outspoken. “There is still time Greghou, be who you’ve always wanted to be
as your father can’t judge you from his grave” she said. So the Yeti master cut
her tongue so she may never doubt the grand ways of his ancestors. He then ate
his meal as joyfully as he could quite remember.
Some say a hint of a smirk could
then be seen on the austere portrait of the great Isaker.
