Magical Sue threw down her broom and said, "Thomas, me boyo. Let's put our differences aside. Embrace Mama Sue."
She extended her arms towards Thomas, who took a few reluctant steps toward the door.
"I thinketh not, ma'am. Ye might give me the leprosy."
"Oh Thomas, you adorable swine, you. Infection through contact is a myth. Now give me a damn hug."
With that, Magical Sue took the poor boy into her arms, and lo! He was immediately stricken with leprosy.
Seeing her time was short, Magical Sue begged the boy, "Quick! Tell me what you know about Magical Hugh!"
But it was too late. The young boy's constitution could not handle the massive, instantaneous swelling of leprosy, and he passed from this world with a cough.
And in time, so did Magical Sue.
But her cat, Beef Tips, lived on, immortal, mewing into the moonlight.
Some say you can still hear her to this day if you stand in just the right spot while wearing an assisted hearing device.
But really now, how likely is that?
THE END
