#993 Youth: I'll Tell My Dad

Terry was a good goblin, or as good as a goblin could be. Unfortunately, though, Terry didn't take anything too seriously, always assuming things would work out in the end. His friends enjoyed Terry's laidback attitude, and he's cool demeanor even got the little guy a little play with the ladies from time to time.

But in the end, it would prove to be Terry's downfall. It was Terry's job to make sure the goblin eating beast didn't escape from it's den. Terry didn't know why the goblins kept a goblin eating beast around in the first place, and in the back of his head he assumed the whole thing was some sort of elaborate prank by the goblin elders just so they could have some menial task to give to young goblins to keep them out of trouble. Thus, Terry the Irresponsible Goblin ignored the clanking sound of the lock coming undone, and was the first victim of the goblin eating beast (and, according to the beast, easily the most delicious).

Terry was reincarnated shortly as a small earthworm, who lived a happy dirt-eating life until he got stabbed with a fishing hook. And in his death, he helped Old Man Jenkins catch the biggest bass he'd ever seen, outside of the magazines. The End.

I'm goddamn insane.
