Episode 2 - Noir & The 3 Skeletons

     The sun had reached its peak of midday, but the heat was mixing poorly with the scorching oven. The Three Skeletons of Parkway were busy all morning baking their favourite cookies, listening to their favourite music, and picking their favourite marijuana strains for afternoon tea. When the last batch was finished, the skeleton trio decided to open the windows and go for a walk while things cooled down.

     Down the way, a young woman with long black hair named ‘Noir’ was also out for a walk. She heard the soulful music dancing on the wind and found herself walking towards a cozy, old cottage. Noir looked around and saw no one. Quickly she snuck inside, closing the door hastily behind her, and removed her shoes; if she was going to break into a house, she at least wouldn’t track dirt through it. Noir took a deep breath and inhaled all the sweet, delicious smells swirling inside the home.

     Noir came upon the kitchen island. There sat three small piles of marijuana, with a bong placed in the middle. So, Noir helped herself. She took a pinch of the first pile and smoked it. After a coughing fit, she decided it was too bitter for her to enjoy. Next, she took a pinch of the second pile and smoked it. While this one was better, she decided it was too floral for her liking. Finally, Noir took a pinch of the third pile and smoked it. It was just right! She took a larger pinch of the third pile and smoked more, leaving barely any left on the island.

     Noir looked to the counter and saw cookies. Her mouth watered instantly. The three trays had three different types of cookies on them. First Noir tried the very chocolatey cookie, but it was so sweet she couldn’t even finish it. Next, she tried the gingery cookie, but it was so spicy she couldn’t finish it either. Lastly, Noir tried a beautiful chocolate chip and oatmeal cookie. It was delicious, it was just right! Before she could stop herself, Noir ate four out of six cookies.

     By this time Noir was starting to get a bit sleepy, so she climbed the stairs to look at the bedrooms. In the first bedroom, Noir found a large coffin. But when she laid in it, she found it was painfully hard. There was no way she could have a nap on it, so she headed to the next bedroom. In the second bedroom, Noir found a much smaller coffin. However, once she got up into the coffin, she noticed it too was incredibly hard. She left to look for the third bedroom. Inside the third bedroom, Noir saw a medium sized coffin, but it to was too hard. By this time the pot Noir smoked early was making her very sleepy. Finally Noir curled up on the rug on the floor and passed out.

     Noir was awoken with a start. The Three Skeletons of Parkway were standing around the rug.

     “Who are you?”

     “Who do you think you are?!”

     “What the fuck?!?”

     They asked the sleepy Noir. After apologizing profusely for her complete lack of boundaries and sense, Noir offered them something to make amends. She was throwing a large party that evening and invited the Skeletons to come, promising to provide them with everything from music to drinks for the party. The Skeletons accepted and had a fantastic evening, partying the night away with their new and unlikely friend.
