*Cue music.*
“Hello, everyone! I’ve been so busy getting fiction ready for all you lovely readers that I’ve gotten a bit behind on my Christmas shopping. So, to round out the year, I’ll be leaving you in the capable hands of Brandon Scott.”
*The Fictionmonger then bows and steps to the side. Brandon Scott walks in from off-screen.*
“Hello, I hope you’re all having a better December than most of 2020. I’m looking forward to New Year’s as much as anyone—but there’s a few things left to do.
“And one of them is Christmas. I love Christmas – like, a lot. And, though I know I’m kind of known for writing dark stuff, I figured we could all use some cheer. So, I’ve written a story with no monsters, no evil, and only a touch of magic. I hope you like this first part as much as I liked writing it.
“Stay warm out there, everyone!”
…tuning out.
