So... you may have read I'm going to work on 'Your Toad-Faced Fan' first, until completion. Yeah... um, let's just pretend you didn't see that... ;) I'm in the mood to write for this again, so bugger to my plans.

Oh, and parents- this fanfic is rated T. Just saying. Now then...


He was too late.

More than a month away from the Mushroom Kingdom's jeopardous past, he had failed to provide for our heroes when they were in want, and then even in need.

And now he overlooks the consequences.

Having lifted his hand towards issues of stalkerish fans, slavery and psychotic yellow dogs, ED_boi has passed the base issue of starvation- a concern that troubles the Mario Bros. no more.

Left alone with a starving society, a minute stock of stale biscuits and a month's writing inactivity, Mario and Luigi have been forced to wait with the masses as the powers beyond completed Kirby 64 and battled fierce addiction with acapella.

Now not even their bodies can wait. The Ones With Teeth did not slay them- hunger has. Each corpse, side by side, in a last futile gesture of community. A reminder for all deceased that from death there comes life, that within the chaos lies a hidden core of order.

But the maggots cannot read. It is not a circle of symbolism, merely a roundabout of flesh. Not a thought is paid to the lost friendships that they thrive on, nor the timeline unguarded by its heroes or anyone and everyone in it.

Though the meals are exquisite, the small brains inspiring squirms of delight.

The Mario Bros. have become mindless hunks of flesh.

Deformed by the maggots even ED_boi couldn't recognize them now.

They are changed... forever.


Okay, guys, last chapter done. Great, eh? Move on, folks, there's nothing to see here, nothing but your 'wtf?' expression reflected on your screens.

... okay, sorry, I couldn't resist :p. I had the idea in my head quite a while now, I just couldn't let it sink away.

Don't worry... it'll all make sense later...

...sorta.
