Chapter 2 Knives discovers the doughnut
o
It is one of the ways of life, that when one lives off bad food they do not realize that it is
bad, but as soon as that person has had one bite of good wholesome food the healing begins, and
the appetite is mysteriously and wonderfully improved; And suddenly that person realizes that
they need wholesome food to live, and that although they thought the bad food was fine while they
were eating it, it really wasn't. In all actuality they were wasting away inside from all the junk
they had been filling themselves up with. Now once realizing this, any sensible person must
understand the trauma poor Knives was now suffering from. He had been living on junk (in his
case bad thoughts...and possibly photosynthesis) for some 128 years or more. Consequently by
dinner time that same day, Knives was extremely hungry. In fact, Knives could not remember a
time that he was more hungry then he now felt. His long dormant appetite awakened, he now
pondered two things:
1. How he could manage to eat without loathed assistance.
2. How he could possibly refuse to eat next time he was offered food.
o
While he was pondering these things, the Millie spider entered the room and walked
straight to him, holding in her hands what appeared to be, and in fact was, a bag of doughnuts.
Knives tried with all his might to glare disdainfully in the direction of the food, but in the end it
appeared to be a grimace of pain.
o
"Here Mr. Knives" said the Millie spider, "I brought you some doughnuts, I know they're
Mr. Vash's favorite, so I thought you might like them too."
"Hmphh." said Knives and tried to look away. They really did smell heavenly though, like a
little fluffy batch of honey and everything sweet mixed in the sky and softly drifted down to
earth just for him to eat. Oh! The airy consistency! Oh! The honey gathered from sweet
smelling flowers. They tempted him, saying, "I am so very sweet, and the one thing in the world
that would make me happy is if you would eat me Knives!" His stomach demanded
simultaneously, "if you don't eat this cake, I will be forced to retaliate." How could he possibly
refuse?
o
"Now don't be silly." Broke in the Millie spiders voice, "I know you want to eat it, and
anyway my big brother always said, if you don't eat, you'll starve." It was too much, Knives
knew in his heart of hearts that if he didn't eat the doughnut, he would die. So knives ate the
doughnut, assisted by Millie. It really was heavenly, he felt a tear form in the corner of his right
eye. Millie got up and left suddenly. There were three more doughnuts sitting on the table, a
little to his left.
o
A minute passed, Knives' eyes never left the precious things. They sat there on the table
cooing to him in their sweet honey voices, "please eat us. Oh do! Pretty please!" In desperation
he attempted to bend over them to retrieve them with his mouth. Failed, the angle was too steep.
Another minute passed. "Jump into my mouth!" He demanded desperately. He really knew this
wouldn't work but he had to try. A few more minutes passed. " Where has that spider gotten too"
he thought desperately... "Please jump into my mouth" he thought to the doughnuts a little more
desperately. Alas, they simply would not be persuaded. He felt the threat of a tear.
The Millie spider returned. He felt the threat of a smile, but mastered himself just in
time.
o
"I'm sorry Mr. Knives" said the Millie spider, "The mail came late today. Would you
like another doughnut?" Resignedly Knives replied "yes."

Miss Anthrope here again. Still editing. I would like to make it known to the general reading audience that the silly bit at the beginning belongs to my lovely, but slightly delusional sister, Miss SillyGoose.
