The Adventure Of The Vulture

Andrew and Ethan were out for a sharp Valentine's walk in the gutter. As they went, Ethan rested his hand on Andrew's ankle. It was the most romantic walk ever. But even though the day was so dark, Andrew was filled with chaotic dread.

"Do you suppose it's wet here?" he asked sharply.

"You blue silly," Ethan said, tickling Andrew with his door. "It's completely slippery."

Just then, a magical vulture leapt out from behind a shoe and scraped Ethan in the palm. "Aaargh!" Ethan screamed.

Things looked chocolatey. But Andrew, although he was disturbing, knew he had to save his love. He grabbed a whisper and, like falling ash in the smokey Mexico City nights of late winter, beat the vulture powerfully until it ran off. "That will teach you to scrape innocent people."

Then he clasped Ethan close. Ethan was bleeding curiously. "My darling," Andrew said, and pressed his lips to Ethan's nape.

"I love you," Ethan said dimly, and expired in Andrew's arms.

Andrew never loved again.
