~Santa's Revenge~

"Don't stop!" the old man implored Luigi. Luigi took a deep breath and continued on with his sad saga.

Luigi and his fiancée finally returned home. He kissed her good night and left, giving her one fast backward glance. He knew he'd be back with her tomorrow, but little did he know, tomorrow would never come. A revenge filled fat man in a red suit lurked in the corner.

The demented Santa watched as Luigi disappeared from sight. He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. He scouted out the mansion until he found an unlocked window and crawled in, unnoticed. He smiled maliciously as he slipped into one of the many closets in the house. Once in the closet he went over his plan mentally, and waited until he was sure everyone in the house was in a deep sleep.

He crept out of the closet preparing to do his dastardly deed. He tiptoed past the blinking Christmas tree. He stared mesmerized by the blinking lights as an idea slowly dawned on him. He quietly yanked the lights off the tree, making very little noise in the process. A heartless giggle escaped his lips as he clutched the lights in his hand. His grip tightened around the lights as he approached the maid's quarters. He entered her room and in seconds strangled her with the lights, crushing her windpipe. He stealthily snuck out of the room and continued committing his heinous crime, killing all the occupants in the house.

Luigi took in a deep breath as he continued his story.

He went to the house the next day to plan the engagement party. He found the door unlocked and found it rather peculiar. An uneasy feeling crept over Luigi as he walked from room to room seeing the family of his lover slain. Suspicion turned to sorrow as he ventured in to the room of his beloved and saw her lying there, cold and stiff on her bed.

"I cannot continue," he muttered to the stunned professor.

Little did Luigi know was that as he was telling his story, a very close relative had snuck into the broken-down mansion. Sensing someone there, Luigi whirled around only to witness the professor being knocked unconscious. No sooner did the professor fall to the floor, did blackness overcome him as well.

Minutes later, Luigi regained his senses only to find that he and the professor were tied together with Christmas lights. How ironic for our hero that these symbols of holiday merriment would cause so much grief.

Luigi realized he was about to come face-to-face with his lover's killer. His eyes bugged out when he saw his...brother. "How could the man I've lived with all this time have committed such a horrible, heinous crime? You disappoint me!" Luigi sobbed.

Just as Mario approached him, Luigi's lover's ghost appeared. Luigi gaped, but barely had time to scream before his lover picked up a lamp and threw it at Mario. Mario's life slipped from him as he uttered his last words, "You should have just put a dime in my bucket." With that, he breathed his last.

*END*

Well, now you know what a real crack story looks like, haha!
