Fantasy/SciFiWritingI. AM. BACK.
The bacon, egg and cheese monster returns from its death. The bacon, egg and cheese monster is now distorted after its return. Now, instead of one bread on its head, it is four pieces of bread. And four pieces of bread were inserted into his neck.
His egg-eyes are green, the bacon for his hair is now brown, and the cheese on his face is green and everywhere else is, too. He uses his mouth to turn people into green bacon, egg and cheese. He scares people by going into people’s mouths and making them vomit their guts out. There is no escape from getting away from him. Wherever you go, he follows. The bacon, egg and cheese monster starts floating to his prey and squishes their bones. Then, two people were walking in the woods mindlessly, not knowing the monsters that seek at night. All of a sudden, the bacon, egg and cheese starts floating out of the woods and attacks them and all that is left are the bones. He is here. He is there. He is everywhere. He is the bacon, egg and cheese.
