Here, Emma, read this. It'll make you feel better!The Giant Sausage
A Short Story
by Dorothy Barlow
Doreo Cookie looked at the giant sausage in her hands and felt scared.
She walked over to the window and reflected on her dangerous surroundings. She had always hated crowded Earth with its purple, panicky People. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel scared.
Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Humble Pie. Humble was a gentle dependent with squat eyes and fat teeth.
Doreo gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a friendly, selfish, soda drinker with moist eyes and brown teeth. Her friends saw her as a purple, panicky Protectress. Once, she had even saved an amused Pie that was stuck in a drain.
But not even a friendly person who had once saved an amused Pie that was stuck in a drain, was prepared for what Humble had in store today.
The sun shone like eating mice, making Doreo sad.
As Doreo stepped outside and Humble came closer, she could see the jittery glint in his eye.
Humble gazed with the affection of 5827 stingy tan toads. He said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want Protection."
Doreo looked back, even more sad and still fingering the giant sausage. "Humble, people always want someone else to eat me," she replied.
They looked at each other with frightened feelings, like two dull, disgusted dogs eating at a very scheming carol service, which had classical music playing in the background and two ruthless uncles eating to the beat.
Doreo studied Humble's squat eyes and fat teeth. Eventually, she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry," began Doreo in apologetic tones, "but I don't feel the same way, and I never will. I just don't love you Humble."
Humble looked hopeful, his emotions raw like a kaleidoscopic, knobbly knife.
Doreo could actually hear Humble's emotions shatter into 3341 pieces. Then the gentle dependent hurried away into the distance.
Not even a drink of soda would calm Doreo's nerves tonight.

If I were a cookie holding a sausage,
I would be scared too.
The amused pie stuck in the drain was what got me. π€£π€£π€£

What is his name?
How many days old is he?

I named him Curtis, but the people who reserved him named him Friday. He is 9 days old. ππ€

They pretty quickly, don't they.

I wonder if Friday was for Friday in Robinson Crusoe?
So is that what happened to most of the others who were named after The Dean's Watch characters? I saw on your Facebook that the only one with a name from that was Peabody.

The people who reserved Dean and Mary changed their names, too. π
