How To Kill a Monster
When the monster has arrived home from it daily place of employment,
You simply wait for it to settle into its old worn-out chair.
Then the monster asks for the chilled glass sitting in the refrigerator.
You remove the chilled glass from the refrigerator.
You place the chilled glass on the kitchen counter.
You add a few pieces of ice into the chilled glass.
You finally add half a bottle’s amount of Apricot Brandy
and watch the monster takes its first nightly sip.
You repeat this process Every Two to Three Hours.
You repeat this process Hour by Hour.
You repeat this process Day after Day.
You repeat this process Week after Week.
You repeat this never ending process Year after Year.
And You Repeat this Process for Fifteen And Counting.
And You Wait for the Shut-Down of the Monster’s Liver.
