Nursing Home Werewolf Fan Fiction
From an email I received from my aunt:
I had a few mini strokes last night followed by one big stroke. I’m okay now but I wanted to let you know what happened just so you won’t worry too much. I know how you worry.
So, the lunar marriage of my lycanthropy problem and my high blood pressure caused me to have a sudden change into the werewolf, while I was having the big stroke. I can’t give up cheeseburgers like you can.
The result of the stroke was a temporal locked-down syndrome which paralyzed my entire body, except for my eyes. So, any danger that I posed was to those who might faint at the sight of me.
You should have seen Doris!
My body shut down to the point of appearing dead. Right now, I am emotionally exhausted.
This morning, I had to listen to some kids watch some crazy movie for the first time. They were so proud of themselves. I don’t think they even watched the movie.
I hope you can come over this morning. I need a human lap and some sunlight. -
Thanksgiving Talk
“How many pull-ups can you do?”
“Who wants to know?”
And then, the conversation ended. -
Nick Offerman: American Ham
We played a show at Rutgers. We almost got sandwiches from one of the grease trucks. I sensed bad news and was glad he did, as well. There were plenty of snacks in the Cap and Skull room.
