A Great Discovery
“Quick! Press the REANIMATE switch!” yelled Dr. Zilch.
Illiterate Igor pressed DECONSTRUCT.
Lightning struck the corpse. It transformed into a brown blob.
“What happened?”
“Don’t know, Doctor.”
Igor approached the blob cautiously. “This smells good. Yum. Tastes like chocolate candy.”
“Argh! I’ve failed again!”
“But you’ve discovered a new recipe: corpses plus lightning equals chocolate candy. Halloween’s coming. Use this for trick-or-treat.”
“There’s not enough. Hundreds come every year.
“Make more candy. Plague rages. There’s plenty of corpses.”
“Good thinking, Igor.”
Trick-or-treaters LOVED Zilch’s chocolates.
Zilch decided to export, worldwide.
All of America’s chocolate candy now comes from Zilch’s laboratory.
