One by one, they gathered in the Grand Toy Mill, trickling in, as each waited for a brief lull in the blizzard. Not all made it of course, but there were enough for the difficult work at hand.
Someone had to die for the crimes of the malicious WereYak!
Again, the debate simmered, shook, and flowed. Certain individuals were focused on, including the strange pineapple creature that had come to "help" Santa this holiday season. But the arguments and accusations moved on, from reindeer to elf to reindeer... until it settled on one particular snowman.
He had recently grown to vast size and strength--he claimed that the blizzard and the harsh winter had made him bigger.
But was he in truth a wereyak?
"Only one way to find out," said a voice which may or may not have belonged to the strange pineapple man.
"HORSE'EM!" cried one elf!
And so the blow dryers were turned on.
And the pained screams began.
He was huge, and the method was imperfect. He raged for hours as the blow dryers did their vicious work. And in the end, all that was left was his stovepipe hat, his stick arms, his coal eyes, and his carrot nose.
Those who left the Toy Mill that night spent it in tears, for they had just executed
nautilu the holly jolly snowman.
Nautilu
1958 - 1958

trespoe, the loyal horse making elf
Nautilu, the holly jolly snowman was lynched
trespoe, the loyal horse making elf, was hunted
