“Ah, what a lovely day for a walk in the park, Cedric.”

“Yes, yes. Just lovely.”

“I used to come here as a child, you know.”

“Really? Been a long time, Thomas?”

“Yes, quite, Cedric. As a matter of fact, I had quite a scare here as a child. That tree over there? Thought it was a monster, you know.”

“That tree?”

“Yes.”

“The one with the large mouth-like opening?”

“Yes, yes. That one.”

“Ah. The one with the two spots that look like glaring yellow eyes?”

“Yes, that’s it.”

“Thomas.”

“Yes, Cedric?”

“I do believe that is a monster. And he seems to want to eat us,”

“Really? Well, I do believe you’re right, Cedric.”

I SHALL TEAR THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES AND FEAST ON YOU BEATING HEARTS !

“Shall we… ah… run?”

“Umm… Yes. Yes, I think that would do.”

“Very well. After you.”

“Oh, no. I brought you here, put you in mortal danger and all that. I insist.”

“Together?”

“I would say yes, but it appears the thing has grabbed us.”

“Yes, so it has. Well, it’s been fun, Thomas.”

“Good bye, Cedric.”
