    corpse bride

    man reanimates wife's body

    Imust start off by saying that the editor has told me to tell you that the actions of Mr Endeavour Olivier. 57, are not to be repeated. I told him that I thought that everyone would understand that his actions were not to be repeated, but he then told me that he was my boss and could sack me at any time he wanted.

    Mr Olivier’s actions are not to be repeated.

    This story all began in the May of this year. Mrs Poppy Olivier, 23 and the wife of Mr Olivier, unfortunately died of complications in her first pregnancy. This wasn’t reported in the Daily Prophet, as nobody knew that Mrs Olivier had died. This is because Mr Olivier did everything he could to hide this fact. First he changed the memories of all of his staff and then sent them on their way. Then he wrote to all of his wife’s friends saying that she was terribly unwell with her pregnancy, and that she was going to bed rest until she had given birth. He banned all people from visiting the house. And it worked, for a reasonable period of time.

    Had Mrs Olivier and her child not died, she would have given birth three weeks ago. The sister of Mrs
    _____________________________________________________________

    Olivier’s, Mrs Julia Leigh (aged 25), was terribly excited. She must have been an aunt by now,and was joyful of that fact. She wrote to her sister, asking if she had given birth yet, and the gender, and the name. Mr Olivier wrote back to Mrs Leigh, and told her that Mrs Olivier had yet to give birth.

    A few days later, Mrs Leigh wrote again. Mr Olivier gave the same response. Mrs Leigh, so eager to hear the news, wrote to Mr Olivier again and again. When he stopped responding to her letters, she took matters into her own hands! After he had left for work, she snuck into the Olivier’s home.

    Mrs Leigh did find her sister. Mrs Leigh found her sister sat on a chair, reading a book. Except Mrs Olivier was not truly reading that book. Mrs Olivier died four months ago, just her husband made her an inferi.

    Having good sense, Mrs Leigh immediately called for the ministry, because what Mr Olivier did was wrong.

    According to what my editor has made me told you.

    An end to the gingerbread house saga

    owner poisons self while trying to prove his house is safe to eat

    In a turn of events that should surprise no one, Mr. Allan Zograf, the man who transfigured his Bartonburg home into one made entirely of gingerbread and then attempted to sell it, died Sunday afternoon when he ate a piece of his own house. Witnesses say that he was attempting to silence those with safety concerns.
    _____________________________________________________________
    According to officials, who examined Mr. Zograf's body, the transfiguration job was actually very poor indeed, and what Mr. Zograf ate was really made of more brick than gingerbread.

    This should probably be taken as a cautionary tale, though about what it's not really clear. Stupidity, maybe.
