Gotta stay focused, Darkie's counting on me

> as he scanned, his eyes came upon a bizarre sight
> a hamburger
> his eyes grew wide, and his mouth watered
Gotta be careful. Tartarus has tried this on me before
> but he could not shake interest
> he crept slowly towards the burger, expecting a monster to appear at any moment
> much to his surprise, he managed to stand next to the burger, without a giant crab to be found
> he dropped to his knees and eyed the sandwich
> nothing appeared out of the ordinary

> as she went to claim her throne, a unicorn approached her
> wowed by her power and ferocity, she begged that she might please Mistress Moon
> Nightmare Moon consented, and the horn of the unicorn sank into her
> Anonymous was violently licking the patty, going so far as to force his tongue into the meat
> the burger moaned more and more, louder and louder, but he didn't care, this meat was scrumptious
> suddenly, the meat began to get firmer which only served to make him savor its juices more
> the burger screamed, and his tongue was flooded with delicious beef juices
> he couldn't take it anymore
> he bit down onto the burger
> finally, his hunger would be over
> the burger let out a cry of pain, and jolted upward
> the jolt sent him tumbling backwards
> he cleared his eyes of sand
> Nightmare Moon was hovering over him, eyes glowing with flaming dark hatred
> he saw the glimmer of a clear liquid dripping behind her
> a large rock off in the distance rushed to meet him
> the sharp jolt of pain was the last sensation he felt before everything went dark
