Which begins

My Uncle Leonard was a hermit who lived alone in the Unconscious Forest his entire life. Unc had a sack of money stashed away, and when he went to meet his Maker he left every penny to my little sister Shane. He left me, a full grown man, a rusty bicycle and a busted set of drums. I don’t mean he left me a full grown man, I mean I am a full grown man. So why would he leave me a load of childish junk instead of cold hard adult cash?

He also left me some kind of a mixed animal, which from the very beginning would turn out to be even more questionable than the junk.

I was not a DU member when the thread was active, but it was pointed out to me by my SO. It remains my most enjoyed thread.
