peppermint skull

  • Title: “Peppermint Candy Skull”
  • Media: Small Candy-based creature. Sans everything but a skull.
  • Submitted by: Theresa
  • A fine dinner. A sweet mint to cleanse the palate. Something awry. Was it a mint at all? Or has she half-consumed a tiny, candy creature -- leaving only a skull as evidence of its remains?

Valentine's Day Heart Crisp

  • Title: “Crispy Heart”
  • Media: Potato. Valentine's Magic.
  • Submitted by: JM
  • JM writes: "Two years ago, depressed and dateless on Valentines' Day, I opened up a packet of McCoy's Thai Sweet Chilli Chicken Crisps, and this Chipped Heart was the very first piece I took out. It filled me with warmth to know that somewhere out there, there was a crisp fryer in a McCoy's factory that was thinking of me. Then I ate it. Mmmm."

Zombie Coconut

  • Title: “Undead Coconut”
  • Media: Coconut Corpse. Reanimation.
  • Submitted by: Fawn
  • Fawn discovered the sunken eyes of this coconut staring at her after she drained the coconut's juice. She said it was a "ghost coconut," but my professional resources have determined it is more assuredly a ZOMBIE COCONUT.

Devil Tomato

  • Title: “Devil Tomato”
  • Media: Garden-variety Tomato. Underworld-variety Evil.
  • Submitted by: Carol B.
  • Carol claims that this tomato "came from the vine from hell!" Well, Carol, allow me to bestow this sage advice upon you, free of charge: if, indeed, you are holding the offspring of a Hell-borne vine, it is not considered wise to mock it by painting on a comical, cat-like face. Just a thought. Good luck, Carol, good luck.
