Mumbo Jumbo and the Misadventures of Walter Mellon -kev-

Mr. and Mrs. Mellon were proud to say that they were perfectly normal. They were the last people you would expect to be involved with anything strange, weird, or ominous. Max Mellon. A kind, generous, loving man. Worked an average paying job as a middle school teacher. Then there was Marsha Mellon. The wife of Max, stayed at home, cleaned, gardened, and awaited the arrival of her husband. Their normality would all change the day thier first and only son was born.

"What should we name him, Max?" Marsha asked. Max stared into Marsha's eyes deeply. "Walter," he uttered, "after my great-great grandfather." Life couldn't get any better for the Mellons.

Let me first introduce myself. My name is Pete Zahut and I come from Mumbo Jumbo and -" "Mumbo Jumbo?" Marsha said laughing. "What is this a joke?" "This is anything but a joke.
