Declan watched with mounting fear as the people formerly surrounding him were torn apart into mangled masses of flesh resembling sides of beef or badly butchered pork loins.  Her banshee screams and wails caused bodies to explode and implode accompanied by cries of the unfortunate corporeals………………….

 

 

 

Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.
