One rainy day in late October, Ivy and Burt decided to make some Rice Krispie Treats and watch a spooky movie. Little did they know how that afternoon would really turn out. Suddenly, Kib flew onto the counter, and with a trembling squawk, insisting that they were being watched.
Ivy tried to calm him down but few minutes later, she admitted she felt something unearthly, too.
Burt thought he heard shuffling in the stairway but when he looked, no one was there.
Suddenly they heard heavy breathing and a rattling noise coming from right behind them!
Slowly, a specter began to materialize right before their eyes. He was cloaked in black and carrying a large box of . . . cereal! Count Chocula to be exact.
Growing less and less transparent, a being materialized before their eyes and implored Ivy to substitute Count Chocula cereal for the Rice Krispies in her recipe. Would this end up being be a sacrilege or a moment in discovery of the power of chocolate?
A mountain of Count Chocula treats were produced in no time.
They watched in silence as the specter took the first bite. Then eagerly joined him in an orgy of sticky cereal mixed with chocolate chips.
It was a transformative experience. Who could ever go back to plain Rice Krispie Treats? They might start to crave something with less sugar and more iron next time though.
His Madness loves building pinhole cameras and he makes one for me every so often. Since they use film and the image is created through a hole in a cardboard box, the results can look a little ghostly. I'm always amazed that it works at all, but then the photos we take everyday with our phones seem like magic to me, too.
Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!
