THE EVIL<br />
STRAWBERRY QUEEN<br />
An exquisite corpse story<br />
written by everyone<br />
The girl who loved. The girl who was humble. The girl<br />
who loved <strong>the</strong> world. The girl who...<br />
And <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y awaken to <strong>the</strong>ir death in <strong>the</strong> c<strong>of</strong>fin<br />
and yeeked, shaboy, shabow, kapoom! Why has this<br />
madness occurred???<br />
Once she realized <strong>the</strong> truth: <strong>the</strong> truth about her<br />
cheating husband, she he had been having a secret<br />
love affair with <strong>the</strong> local otter (gasp!!)<br />
“Seventeen million <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m?” she asked. “Yes, exactly<br />
seventeen million and no more, and no less.” And <strong>the</strong><br />
ground was covered completely with <strong>the</strong>ir droppings.<br />
You could see no grass and no ground. Just dung from<br />
<strong>the</strong> migration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se magical creatures, which had<br />
passed in <strong>the</strong> night.<br />
“This dung,” she said, “will turn <strong>the</strong> earth gold, and<br />
we will eat it.”<br />
The happy bird sang all day and night until his voice<br />
was sore, <strong>the</strong> one rested and sang again.
