He raised his eyebrow at the ladies' story but got to work all the same spending a good hour working on bringing up whatever was stuck in those pipes he finally pulled it loose but he couldn't believe what he was looking at.

Hanging on the end of his plumbers snake was some sort of creature sopping wet that look like a cross between an octopus, a rabbit, and that mogwai thing from that movie Gremlins. The thing made a chirping sound spat a tiny bird skull at his chest and went scurrying off to some other corner of the house, the old lady came in clapping and laughing "Oh my, Sassafras mus' really like you! He almos' never give people presents hehe...how much do I owe you?"
