When Magda sees you she'll make the sign of the cross and
start muttering to herself in Latin. You
won't understand any of it; you're a biscuit, after all, and lack the capacity
to comprehend language. You'll grasp,
thanks to the cosmic interconnectivity of all things that stoners have known
about for a long time, that you're important to her, but how will be unclear,
since Magda's aura will be mad fucked up, and incapable of broadcasting
signals, beyond this sort of spiky, generalized rage.
So we're here not just to inform you of Magda's response,
which, as you know, will be freaksoutville, directed at you. We're also here to give you some tasty, tasty
context. Magda, good Christian Magda,
loves a good biscuit. She's been making
them every day using the same technique for decades, and the result has been
unvaried until this morning, when you appeared.
See, you're a bit of an odd shape. We don't mean that as a bad thing - we're
just saying, you look funny, kind of like the face of a bearded man in profile. And you've got a strange pattern of burning
on you that reinforces the whole "profile of a man" deal. Basically, Magda thinks you look like an
especially important non-biscuit named Jesus, and she's going to go kind of
apeshit over you.
She'll call up papers, get people from the local news over,
refuse to eat you, donate you to a church, and talk to people about how you
told her, through the word of god, that she should dedicate her life to feeding
those who have no one else. This will
lead to her raising money for, and then summarily opening, a soup kitchen in a
few months.
Unfortunately, the reason you ended up quite so misshapen in
the first place is that Magda is starting to lose motor control, and the reason
she forgot about fucking up one of her biscuits has to do with her slowly
failing short term memory. You're
actually indicative of some pretty serious neurological problems, and you're a
marker of Magda's fast fading capacity to care for herself. You're a sign that she has only a few good
years left. So really, the whole thing
is kind of bittersweet. Enjoy your place
of honor in the rectory, until an enthusiastic and very hungry mouse eats you
in about a week. In the end, you'll have
done considerably more with your life than most biscuits ever do.
Congratulations Particularly Interesting Biscuit!
