Feet

WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:09.230 Greetings, hello and good day. I am Lloyd Warrington and you are accidentally 2 00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:14.230 listening to another episode of down to fork. If you are just discovering us, 3 00:00:14.509 --> 00:00:18.829 you probably should have stopped looking for podcasts now. Your life will never 4 00:00:18.910 --> 00:00:26.420 be the same. You'll see this episode may contain dark humor and horrific scenarios. 5 00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:31.579 However, I can personally guarantee to you that it is one hundred and 6 00:00:31.699 --> 00:00:37.250 ten percent entertainment free. If you are listening with children, I honestly don't 7 00:00:37.289 --> 00:00:43.409 care. Those little ships are your problem, not mine. Welcome one and 8 00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:58.719 all too yet another happiest places on Earth, called down to fork. Women's 9 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.520 mingled feet were turning up all over the state. Ten murders in ten weeks, 10 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.310 all committed with an axe. Where was the rest of the body and, 11 00:01:07.469 --> 00:01:14.269 more importantly, who was terrifying the citizens of Florida? Despite the various 12 00:01:14.269 --> 00:01:19.019 clues, police had no Leeds. It was a time before DNA evidence was 13 00:01:19.099 --> 00:01:23.620 really sophisticated enough to clean much from the findings. Each dump site was in 14 00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:29.780 the parking lot of a strip mall in plain view. The CSI team did 15 00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:33.810 find a few pieces of evidence, but the clues were more baffling than helpful. 16 00:01:34.849 --> 00:01:38.129 The discoveries were all made on a Thursday. There is no blood found 17 00:01:38.170 --> 00:01:42.930 on sight. Strands of hair appeared at each crime scene, but each were 18 00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:48.719 synthetic and different colors, links and textures, the type you would find in 19 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.079 wigs. And at each scene the sinister calling card was left behind, a 20 00:01:53.239 --> 00:02:00.280 price tag from macy's. They could do nothing but scratch their heads, but 21 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.390 there were only three days until Thursday rolled around again. It was time to 22 00:02:05.469 --> 00:02:10.870 call in for backup. Agent Shane Williams was a strapping young man with a 23 00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:15.740 pinch on for the drink. He was a plain clothes detective, though the 24 00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:20.300 term was a bit of an oxymoron. He was known to wear a devastatingly 25 00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:24.620 large Ponn show everywhere he went, despite his proclivities to being between buzzed and 26 00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:29.939 completely drunk on the job, he was their last hope in stopping the killer, 27 00:02:30.689 --> 00:02:36.210 though he didn't know it yet. He knew this town and that one 28 00:02:36.969 --> 00:02:40.330 and was fairly familiar with a few others. He'd at least heard of all 29 00:02:40.409 --> 00:02:46.000 of them, and he definitely shopped at a macy's, though he couldn't quite 30 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:52.319 recollect when. No, wait, it was blooming Dale's. He thought anyway. 31 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.319 He leaned back against the brick wall with one boot up, dragging on 32 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.229 his cigarette. As the police approached him, he didn't even look up. 33 00:03:04.710 --> 00:03:09.069 This is about those feed ain't it? The officer's exchanged looks. Damn, 34 00:03:09.150 --> 00:03:15.500 he was good, Shane. We need your help. The agent paused for 35 00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:21.060 a moment, taking another lingering puff from the cigarette in his hand. Before 36 00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:25.539 flicking it he turned and stirred over to them, eyes and narrowed, knowing 37 00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:31.210 the grim task that awaited him. He wasn't glaring, he was simply so 38 00:03:31.409 --> 00:03:37.810 hammered the sunlight hurt his eyes. Murder was nothing new to him. In 39 00:03:37.969 --> 00:03:39.849 his short time on the job, he felt like he'd seen it all, 40 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:46.039 and everyone knew and respected his work. He was a man with dogged determination 41 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.479 and he could whip up a hell of a cocktail, as he often did 42 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.189 in the department lounge when he was on a case. He drew up uncomfortably 43 00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:59.990 close to the pear who addressed him, smelling the booze on his breath. 44 00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:04.830 I'll handle it, but only if I can bring billy on. One of 45 00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:09.870 the officers glanced up to the sky, already knowing just what this meant. 46 00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:15.459 The other simply mouthed the word fock under his breath, but he already knew 47 00:04:15.579 --> 00:04:21.300 that. Say Yes, so did they. Billy blast was a wellknown true 48 00:04:21.339 --> 00:04:26.089 crime author, the kind who would go to whatever links necessary to get his 49 00:04:26.170 --> 00:04:31.490 story. He needled his way into investigations, harassed officers and witnesses alike and 50 00:04:31.730 --> 00:04:39.399 one set even stolen CCTV footage. The police hated billy blast, but if 51 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.800 that's what it took to bring down their murderer, well they just had to 52 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.120 let the legend work. And so the two embarked on a journey they knew 53 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:53.430 would be arduous and gruesome. They knew what they were getting into, or 54 00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:59.069 at least they presumed they did. Shane would drink to that much, but 55 00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:03.430 they never expected what would happen next. Right across the street from with them 56 00:05:03.470 --> 00:05:09.180 and stood planning their course of action, a waiter walked briskly across telling them 57 00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:13.939 Shane had a call. He sipped from his flask and calmly followed him into 58 00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:18.100 the restaurant. Billy just on his heels as he picked up the receiver and 59 00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:23.730 muttered a gruff hello. The voice on the other line spoke. He did, 60 00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:29.889 Williams, I'm so draw for roads to your reputation proceeds here. What 61 00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:33.089 do you want? A bunk looks more or not. Are Of what you 62 00:05:33.329 --> 00:05:39.560 want? Clothes and Rulliams, for the name Brunder may mean anything to you. 63 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:46.399 Jane's heart dropped into his stomach. Brenda may He swigged from a nearby 64 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.350 pitcher of hoods, followed by a not for liquid courage. The waiter attempted 65 00:05:50.350 --> 00:05:54.709 to tap him on the shoulder and let him know this was a non drinking 66 00:05:54.709 --> 00:05:59.189 establishment and he would have to take his picture outside, but they'll look on 67 00:05:59.310 --> 00:06:02.550 his face told the young server it was probably not in his best interests. 68 00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:06.500 Listen here, you son of a bitch, if you've done anything to her, 69 00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:14.579 laughter erupted on the other end of the line. Arm Contrary, she's 70 00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:17.730 completely fine. There she darting, seemed to care for the dark. Poke 71 00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:23.810 two dogs. Who wouldn't do quiet? Sure, such a pretty mouth. 72 00:06:25.129 --> 00:06:29.769 Then there was nothing but dial tone. It was closing in on Wednesday night 73 00:06:29.810 --> 00:06:33.720 by now, and Shane and billy both knew what that meant. Happy Hour. 74 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:40.480 Billy didn't drink. He didn't smoke or eat meat or wear leather either. 75 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.680 He was extremely conscientious, having adopted three rescue dogs and a rescue cat 76 00:06:46.189 --> 00:06:53.670 and campaigned against global climate change. Also, he did math, because Florida. 77 00:06:55.310 --> 00:06:58.949 As Shane started in on the sauce, billy pulled open his Satchel and 78 00:06:59.069 --> 00:07:03.740 handed a tattered shoe to his partner. Shane peered the item intently before lifting 79 00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:10.100 his eyes to his friend. The Hell you get this? Billy start his 80 00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:15.250 ice water and told him I found it in the evidence locker. Jane's Eyes 81 00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:20.730 Grew Whiter. That's pretty extreme even for you, Bill. It was found 82 00:07:20.850 --> 00:07:27.290 at the Miami dump side. Any idea what it means? Jane Sat back 83 00:07:27.329 --> 00:07:32.199 and closed his eyes. I reckon. Well, I reckon it means our 84 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:38.839 killers missing a shoe. A light flickered in billy's eyes. That was it. 85 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.959 That's what they needed. But could they find the one showed man in 86 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.029 time? Based on the abduction side of Brenda May, Jane Determined they should 87 00:07:48.069 --> 00:07:51.870 scout out the local mall parking lot in the early morning hours, watching the 88 00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:57.629 macy's. It wasn't really solid police work, but he had done a great 89 00:07:57.629 --> 00:08:01.620 deal on hunches that had paid off in the past. It was just pre 90 00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:05.939 dawn when they noticed the strange form moving soundlessly under the parking lot lights. 91 00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:11.819 He opened some type of Duffel bag and then threw something down before looking around 92 00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:18.089 briefly and hurrying away. Jane couldn't hold back any more. He had to 93 00:08:18.129 --> 00:08:22.649 vomit, but then he ran, expertly, leaping over the fire water he 94 00:08:22.730 --> 00:08:26.920 had just regurgitated. In barely over a minute he had tackled the assailant to 95 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.919 the ground. The suspect now apprehended, he led him back to whatever had 96 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.600 been deposited on the ground. Billy was already shaking his head. The math, 97 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:45.149 you know. But they were also too late. Another mangled pair of 98 00:08:45.230 --> 00:08:50.309 feet, another macy's price tag. His lip quivering but his jocklinch tight. 99 00:08:50.750 --> 00:08:56.019 Shane marched to the man, to the police station. Well, kind of. 100 00:08:56.059 --> 00:09:01.419 He Alf leaned on him. Jane was ripp roaring, throwed, but 101 00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:07.899 who could blame him? He just found his sweethearts feet and this bastard was 102 00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:13.490 going away for a life. That afternoon the men stood gravely quiet in the 103 00:09:13.570 --> 00:09:16.570 medical examiner's office. Well, DOC, if you run the talk screen. 104 00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:22.690 Yet he didn't answer, just cocked his head to the side. I know 105 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.159 it's difficult without blood. This is the eleventh pair of feet. How come 106 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:35.039 we got no answers. The doctor looked puzzled. Sorry, doc, I 107 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:41.110 don't mean to roughly your feathers and that's what it hid him. Shane ran 108 00:09:41.190 --> 00:09:45.070 to the preserved feet, pulling them from their drawers one after another. He 109 00:09:45.309 --> 00:09:50.830 picked them up and realized they were all mannequin feet. No wonder the cut 110 00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:54.419 was so precise. It was the logical attachment site after fitting the form with 111 00:09:54.580 --> 00:10:03.460 pants in a department store like blooming Dale's or or macie's. The tags. 112 00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:11.490 But there was no murderer than who? Brenda May, that wily little minx. 113 00:10:11.129 --> 00:10:16.850 She must have orchestrated this whole Ding, and he was right. She 114 00:10:16.970 --> 00:10:22.159 did. She was nuttier than a goddamn fruit cake. But how had the 115 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.519 Manikin feed been mistaken for real human feet? While that, my friends, 116 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.879 is a very strange tale indeed. You see, the doctor very literally had 117 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.429 ruffled feathers. It was as Jane watched him it dawned on the strapping young 118 00:10:39.549 --> 00:10:43.830 agent that the doctor wasn't a doctor at all. The doctor was a pigeon. 119 00:10:46.070 --> 00:10:50.139 Jane watched the bird as he shed himself right then and there, as 120 00:10:50.179 --> 00:11:01.860 he often did wherever he went. Well then, I guess Ariel has just 121 00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:07.289 given up too. Speaking of people who have just given up, Chad has 122 00:11:07.370 --> 00:11:11.730 recruited yet another benchling from the two girls on a bench. This story was 123 00:11:11.850 --> 00:11:18.169 written by in turn sharpy. Are you seriously telling me that none of these 124 00:11:18.289 --> 00:11:24.519 benching people have real names? Whatever? Go to the fire pit, listen 125 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:39.629 to your little story and then go away. Little Muffy Hubbard was an ordinary 126 00:11:39.909 --> 00:11:48.460 looking child who loved cottage cheese. She loved it so much she would occasionally 127 00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:54.580 steal a large container of it from the grocery store. She would take it 128 00:11:54.700 --> 00:12:01.409 home and just dig into it with a spoon. She wouldn't pay for it 129 00:12:01.690 --> 00:12:09.570 because she had neither a job nor an allowance. Her favorite place to enjoy 130 00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:20.240 it was on a small Ottoman with a plush overstuffed cushioned top, which she 131 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:28.440 would use as a short stool. She would just sit on her stool by 132 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:35.309 the window, eating cottage cheese and dream about a bigger and better life. 133 00:12:37.350 --> 00:12:46.820 One day, had about age ten, Muffy was doing this very thing, 134 00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:56.419 eating spoonful after spoonful of cottage cheese, just wiling away the afternoon alone in 135 00:12:56.500 --> 00:13:05.330 the house, because she was a lad etchkey kid and her parents were both 136 00:13:05.370 --> 00:13:16.080 away at work and as she ate, she day dreamed and she noticed movement 137 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.120 out of the corner of her eye. She looked down at the cushion on 138 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:28.669 her stool and saw a small, hairy, eight legged creature crawling toward her 139 00:13:28.710 --> 00:13:35.230 leg. And muffy screamed as she jumped to her feet, dropping the container 140 00:13:35.389 --> 00:13:41.460 of the Kurds and and a way and in her cottage she's spilled across the 141 00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:48.220 floor and a surge of more little black spiders came rushing from every direction at 142 00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:56.889 the newfound food. And muffy was horrified and she screamed again and she ran 143 00:13:56.009 --> 00:14:00.169 out of the House and she ran down the street, turned the corner and 144 00:14:00.210 --> 00:14:05.009 ran some more. She ran all the way to the grocery store where she 145 00:14:05.090 --> 00:14:11.519 would go to, you know, still cottage cheese, but she wasn't in 146 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.679 the mood for cottage cheese now. The clerk was outside helping a customer with 147 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:22.440 groceries and saw the little girl screaming and running and crying and he knelt down 148 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.110 and he asked her, well, what's wrong, and she was way too 149 00:14:28.190 --> 00:14:33.070 afraid to speak. She didn't want him to figure out that, you know, 150 00:14:33.269 --> 00:14:39.419 she had been stealing their cottage cheese. So she simply shook her head 151 00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:45.740 and ran off some more. Muffy ran to the city park on the next 152 00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:54.250 block and and it had hid in the in the ladies bathroom, and there 153 00:14:54.450 --> 00:15:01.090 she sulked and cried until finally she fell asleep at a just absolute exhaustion. 154 00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:07.720 And muffy slept there all afternoon and all evening and all through the night. 155 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.559 And the next day she woke up and she knew she had to go home. 156 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.639 She had to tell her parents what had happened. So muffy walked back 157 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:26.909 slowly, unwilling to run because she was still afraid of seeing the spiders again. 158 00:15:28.029 --> 00:15:33.230 And and they had caught her by surprise. And you know she she 159 00:15:33.429 --> 00:15:39.740 walked past the grocery storm. She tried real hard not to not to look 160 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:45.100 directly at anybody, hoping they wouldn't recognize her. And and she reached her 161 00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:50.009 street and she saw her house, but it wasn't there anymore. Instead, 162 00:15:50.049 --> 00:16:00.769 muffy found a large red and orange tent. What happened to her home? 163 00:16:02.970 --> 00:16:07.799 Muffy ran to the tent, fearful that her parents had seen the spiders too, 164 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:14.759 and ran away just like she did. But unlike Muffy, the parents 165 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.309 took the house with them. She had to find out who lived here now, 166 00:16:19.389 --> 00:16:26.950 who lived in this tent, and if they even knew where her parents 167 00:16:26.990 --> 00:16:33.379 went. Muffy reached the edge of the tent and pulled up the bottom so 168 00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:41.259 she crawled under and inside she saw her house. Muffy ran excitedly to the 169 00:16:41.419 --> 00:16:49.610 door and opened it and it was dark, it was cold and it smelled 170 00:16:51.009 --> 00:16:56.769 funny. I mean it smelt really funny, like like the old like that 171 00:16:59.049 --> 00:17:11.599 gross burning smell when the vacuum cleaner gets clogged. But her parents were gone. 172 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:21.630 And the worst yet is there little spiders everywhere. The muffy shrieked. 173 00:17:22.230 --> 00:17:30.660 I realized the spider's we're moving. WERE THEY ASLEEP? Muffy didn't like it 174 00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:40.299 at all. Muffy went further inside, going back to her favorite spot by 175 00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:44.849 the window. The cottage cheese was was gone. Thank God, because that 176 00:17:44.930 --> 00:17:49.609 would have really stunk. The container was gone and but luckily her stool was 177 00:17:49.690 --> 00:17:59.440 still there and muffy picked it up and and if she did her her head 178 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.279 got woozy from the smell, like not like rotten cottage cheese, this that 179 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:08.880 like that funky vacuum smell. Anyway, she started to piece together what had 180 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:18.069 happened. The spiders must have eaten her parents, obviously, and they covered 181 00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:25.430 the house with a tent to hide the evidence, like you do. That 182 00:18:25.710 --> 00:18:33.619 was all the convincing that muffy needed to get out. So, with her 183 00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:41.609 stool in hand, she crawled back out from under the tent and carefully stayed 184 00:18:41.650 --> 00:18:48.130 quiet not to wake the spiders, and then said goodbye to the House and 185 00:18:48.329 --> 00:18:55.920 goodbye to her parents and goodbye all the scary ass spiders that had eaten them. 186 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:03.720 And after wandering alone, with tears in her eyes in her stool in 187 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:11.309 her hand, Muffy was picked up by the authorities. They questioned her many 188 00:19:11.349 --> 00:19:18.549 times about who she was, who are family was, but Muffy didn't want 189 00:19:18.549 --> 00:19:25.140 to answer their questions because she knew. She knew they would laugh at her 190 00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:32.740 and if she told them the truth about spiders eating her mom and dad and 191 00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:41.130 putting a tent over it to cover it up, she wouldn't even tell them 192 00:19:41.210 --> 00:19:52.769 her name. So the authorities decided to put her in a foster home while 193 00:19:52.809 --> 00:20:00.200 they sorted things out. Bunny years. The foster house was run by an 194 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:06.960 old lady who cared for seven other children. The family was without a father 195 00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:14.430 and the old lady didn't work. Instead she relied on checks that the government 196 00:20:14.509 --> 00:20:21.190 gave her for caring for children, and in order to stretch out her budget, 197 00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:27.900 the old woman would make different condensed soups that came highly recommended from some 198 00:20:29.220 --> 00:20:33.700 podcast and would add three times the recommended amount of water, never milk, 199 00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:41.250 turning it into, you know, just like slightly more than broth. And 200 00:20:41.369 --> 00:20:45.890 there wasn't even any bread to go with it. And the children would complain 201 00:20:45.970 --> 00:20:52.000 about being hungry, but the old woman would not listen. She would simply 202 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:57.359 brush the children away, shoe shoe, and if the children continued to complain, 203 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.309 the old woman would whip the children into submission before sending them to bed, 204 00:21:03.950 --> 00:21:08.349 all with silent tears running down their face. That was not the home 205 00:21:08.390 --> 00:21:12.990 muffy wanted, so for the second time in her life, she ran away. 206 00:21:14.589 --> 00:21:18.299 And as Muffy grew older, she'd made her way through life by finding 207 00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:29.700 occasional work, then later surviving by dumpster diving and shoplifting. It was much 208 00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:33.849 easier for a child to earn money under the table doing yard work and odd 209 00:21:33.890 --> 00:21:40.170 jobs then it was for an adult, which she learned as she grew older 210 00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:45.170 and out of her cute kid pays. Muffy, the runaway made her home 211 00:21:45.289 --> 00:21:52.119 in a building that was condemned and forgotten. She took one of its apartments 212 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.599 for her own. Lived among a bunch of hoboes and drug addicts, and 213 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:04.349 it was a cramped studio apartment, but that was all she needed. As 214 00:22:04.470 --> 00:22:11.509 long as she still had her favorite stool to sit on. Neighbors usually left 215 00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:18.819 her alone, and when she was an out scavenging, she would just stay 216 00:22:18.859 --> 00:22:23.140 at home in her apartment, sitting on her beat up, bold ass stool 217 00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:29.700 and daydream. She didn't socialize with the rest of the building. She wouldn't 218 00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:34.130 even tell them her name, but sometimes, when the hunting was good, 219 00:22:34.650 --> 00:22:38.809 she would share some of her food with them, and they responded by calling 220 00:22:38.849 --> 00:22:47.119 her old mother as an ironic term of endearment. Muffy huppard had become an 221 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:52.839 expert treasure hunter when it came to surviving on her own, and it was 222 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:59.750 on one of those treasure hunts that she met the last friend she would ever 223 00:22:59.869 --> 00:23:04.390 make. Muffy was going through trash cans in an alley behind a restaurant one 224 00:23:04.470 --> 00:23:11.309 evening when she heard a noise behind her. She froze in place, unsure 225 00:23:11.509 --> 00:23:17.859 of what awaited her. She knew the owners of the restaurant usually weren't very 226 00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:21.380 nice to people, you know, digging through their track, but no one 227 00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:26.809 yelled. So she turned cautiously around and looked, and staring back at her 228 00:23:27.289 --> 00:23:36.210 was a large gray dog with a curious look on his face. She approached 229 00:23:36.289 --> 00:23:41.079 the pooch cautiously. He let her come close and and flinched as she reached 230 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:47.599 out to pet him, but eventually he let her fingers make contact and her 231 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:53.440 heart melted. Worried the dog would get her caught by the restaurant owner, 232 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:59.869 muffy decided call it a night go home, and the dog followed her. 233 00:24:00.109 --> 00:24:04.910 And along the way the the dog would stop to smell something here or piss 234 00:24:06.029 --> 00:24:10.900 on something over there, but she continued on her way and he continued to 235 00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:15.980 follow and finally, when she got home, she brought the dog inside of 236 00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:18.740 her apartment and looked him over. You'll need a wash for sure, she 237 00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:25.329 said to him. Then her stomach growled, which made the dog's ears perk 238 00:24:25.369 --> 00:24:32.210 up. Are you hungry? The duck stared back wordless in the way that 239 00:24:32.769 --> 00:24:36.609 you know dogs do, and Muffy went over to the cupboard to get some 240 00:24:37.170 --> 00:24:41.599 old Turkey bones that she had scavenged months ago, but the cupboard was empty. 241 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.799 One of the building neighbors must have come in and taken them. I'm 242 00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.990 I'm sorry, she told the dog. I don't have any bones for you 243 00:24:52.750 --> 00:24:57.150 or me, and she shrugged. No food, will have to find some 244 00:24:57.349 --> 00:25:04.549 tomorrow. And muffy then sat down on her treasured tufted stool and called the 245 00:25:04.630 --> 00:25:08.579 dog to her and the dog, her new best friend, came over. 246 00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:12.500 She reached out to pat him, but as she reached out to pat him, 247 00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:18.380 just as he did in the alley, the dog flinched. She tried 248 00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:22.369 again and he lunged forward, burying his teeth and he bitter in the neck 249 00:25:22.650 --> 00:25:29.170 and he tore her crowded artery and muffy Hubbard slump to the floor, gurgling, 250 00:25:30.289 --> 00:25:37.000 bleeding to death as the stray dog tore into her flesh, enjoying the 251 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:49.549 first full meal that he had had in weeks. Wow, that one wasn't 252 00:25:49.630 --> 00:25:55.390 off bat. I'm still not a fun of these people named after an animates 253 00:25:55.430 --> 00:26:00.109 objects, but hey, you get what you pay for. The Mermaid broad 254 00:26:00.190 --> 00:26:04.660 from the malice podcast wrote and performed some sort of fetish peace. The story 255 00:26:04.700 --> 00:26:10.420 of Muffy Hubbard was written by our in turn, Kayla Ray Tidwell, sharpie. 256 00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:15.220 It was then sort of performed by that perfect package podcast Guy, the 257 00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:22.450 bold white one, not the Melanin forward funny one.
