This is the story of one named Tempura. He had mittens and galoshes, and a coat of wool. He also had a family, but I don't remember their significance or relevance to this story.

There was an asteroid, and it came close to the earth, and it seems to me that this changed the Tempura in a way that nobody could understand. In fact, it made everyone completely unable to understand anything the Tempura tried to communicate, by whatever means.

Tempura was very lonely, except for his pet dog, whom he named LaBelle. It was a kinda girly name, but it was fun to say for a cajun boy like Tempura.

"LaBelle," he would say, "Have you seen my mittens!"

......A long debilitating pause......


"...I have not."

"Off with you what good are you anyway. You're not even supposed to understand me when I speak. I hope the comet falls on your god-forsaken head. Off with you, I say."

the end.
