The villagers awoke to a bright morning, surprised that they had each slept soundly through the night. No noises had kept them from slumber, and even the wind had lain silent, like a warm blanket over a cold nightmare that faded with the stars. When dawn arrived, people slowly emerged from their homes, wondering if the wolfish menace had moved on to another town, scared off by clever inhabitants of the small hamlet. Perhaps Anguirel’s death had convinced them to find easier victims.
Mormegil waved to The Phantom, and both shared a cheerful ‘good morning’ with Primrose Bolger and Firefoot. Together, the four old friends walked around the town, checking in on Oddwen, Feanor, and Bilbo_Baggins. Kuruharan joined the group, and at last even Mithalwen emerged from her tiny but picturesque cottage. Everyone was safe, it seemed.
“Well,” asked someone, “are we missing anyone?”
“Where’s The Saucepan Man?”
“Cooking us a good breakfast, I should hope. Let us go down to the tavern and see.”
Convinced that they had rid themselves of their beastly troubles, the villagers walked to Saucepan’s place with all expectations of a good breakfast and some hot coffee. But when they approached his home, their faces fell, and the horror of the previous day came rushing back like an avalanche of stones.
The Saucepan Man’s front door hung ajar, silent as the night had been, and from inside came no noise or light. They carefully entered, suddenly expecting the worst. But they were surprised to find everything in place and unmolested. The last embers of the evening’s fire glowed dully in the hearth, and a great pan still hung where the Saucepan Man did much of his cooking.
“Perhaps he did make breakfast, after all,” said someone, looking for a plate and some silverware.
But they were wrong. The pan was indeed full of flesh, but when the villagers discovered what was simmering over the dying fire, they all began to scream.
