Even if Melgrim was always the brains of the outfit, that doesn&#8217;t mean Grimmel is without his talents and as Melgrim learns sometimes having a gift for the simple things can be the most inspiring plot of all when it comes to messing with Donnie.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s as Grimmel is messing around with the Christmas lighting that an idea is sparked, Grimmel having put together a little remote that should activate all the lighting whenever they want, making opening and closing the store that much easier until Donnie returns. But it&#8217;s the remote, a simple concept from a simple mind such as Grimmel&#8217;s which sets everything in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Putting their heads together, Melgrim and Grimmel form a plan like no other, a way of really humiliating the humans, twisting not only their minds and bodies as has been done before, but doing so in an entirely new way which will forever haunt Donnie and the pathetic humans he loves so much, and might just ruin the reputation of the entire town.<\/p>\n<p>The cursed costumes are old news, costumes changing the wearer to better fit a perverted theme loosely based around the costume itself. However, by connecting the remote to the curse, Melgrim and Grimmel can hand out the costumes, follow and let the wearers head out in public, and then remotely activate the changes those cursed threads will bring.<\/p>\n<p>The perfect opportunity comes just as everything is ready, a few of Donnie&#8217;s personal friends, the youth minister of a local church and two of his senior youth stopping by to pick up Christmas costumes for the float they will ride in the annual town Christmas parade later that afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Each year Donnie has made sure the costumes are perfect, a Santa costume, an elf costume, and a Santa girl costume. Of course this year, Donnie&#8217;s away, and his moral upstanding friends, Pastor Stan, Eric, and Abigail, are about to be the test dummies for an all new brand of costumed chaos like never before.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s later in the afternoon when the parade gets going, but will all eyes be on the pretty floats or the pretty crazy stuff which centers around one single float. From a Santa who soon has a magic arousal inducing twinkle in his eye, to an elf with sex toys to toss out to the crowd, nothing will quite match the transition sweet virginal Abigail publicly suffers.<\/p>\n<p>For Melgrim and Grimmel, they never quite figured out how best to mess with Donnie, but thanks to Grimmel&#8217;s Gift, this year they may have finally figured out the real way to mess with Donnie&#8217;s customers and friends.<\/p>\n<p>On the eighth day of Kris-mas, there was one hell of a parade.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/691410\" target=\"_blank\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01N4GQDXR\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the next day of Kris-mas\u2026 Kris-mas proves it&#8217;s never too late to get everything you ever wanted&#8230; and realize it was too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donnie the Demon is away at a mini-pizza convention and this Christmas he has left his two best bullies in charge of the Costume Castle.
