Epilogue...

In the 1930s, a serial killer offed at least 12 victims in Cleveland, leaving their headless and limbless torsos in a gritty east-side area known as Kingsbury Run. The killer was never found, although the murders did stop as suddenly as they started.

Had it been closer to that era, I would say the "Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run" struck again...this time in the coffee kitchen at my office.

Poor Mr. Jingles. By 3 p.m., he had been pretty much decapitated. A few sizable chunks of chocolate head remained along with many shards. Only his body was left, and part of that was missing, as well.

I slipped in to take his picture and encountered our H.R. director, who noted, quite impassively, "Once we get through the chocolate, then we can start in on the white chocolate." I thoughtfully considered this, reached into the plastic bag, and I'm ashamed to say, snagged another hunk of Mr. Jingle's tasty chocolate remains.

RIP Mr. Jingles. You served us well.

You will be missed Mr. Jingles, but damn, you tasted good!
