i just wanted a double decker. not four slightly-too-small ones, not one king size one split into two chunks, just one (1) regulation-sized double decker. we used to be a proper country.

![[Scene is a DRINKS PARTY with various monstrous horror characters - proper grown-up, modern horror film type nightmare things - and they are standing around chatting. A little GREEN BLOB MONSTER called Dan is being introduced to the other monsters].
1
MONSTER 1 [introducing the little blob to the other monsters]:
Everybody, this is Dan
GROUP OF THREE MONSTERS:
Hi Dan!
2
MONSTER 2:
Pleased to meet you Dan, I’m Peter
3
MONSTER 3:
I’m Mary
MONSTER 4:
I’m Sean
4
MONSTER 1:
Peter is an extended metaphor for bereavement
5
MONSTER 1:
Mary is a manifestation of intergenerational trauma
6
MONSTER 1:
And Sean is a body-horror chimera expressing the cannibalistic dynamics of late-stage capitalism.
7
MONSTER 4:
And what do you, Dan?
8
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a green blob that lives in the toilet and bites you on the arse.
9
MONSTER 3:
Gosh…
So is that like a metaphor for… society… or…?
BLOB MONSTER:
No.
10
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a basic, old fashioned, meaningless horror movie monster. I’m a green blob in your toilet. I bite you on the arse.
11
[They all look disgusted]
12
[As the other monsters look awkward and drift away, Blob monster thinks]:
I hate parties
