Yep. It's almost uncanny how the HOLY/UNHOLY couplet fits pretty well.

My turn!

Toro's Passage

Toro shook his head, chasing the stars from his vision away. That dratted warrior had a sharp sword and a strong BODY PART, no mistake there!

Around him, the brigands were running away. Did that mean what he thought it PAST TENSE VERB? Was Elsa von Spielburg her old self again?

Toro picked himself up and walked ADVERB into the compound. A brigrand confronted him.

"Don't you know what's going on?!" He PAST TENSE VERB. "Our leader has disappeared! Save yourself! It's--"

"Shut up," Toro said placidly, PRESENT TENSE VERB the brigand out with one ham-sized hand. So ... the prophecy was fulfilled, at least in part. This warrior did 'free the princess from the band'. Did he also 'come from the east'? Has he 'freed the man from the beast'? Will he force the ogress to flee the land?

Well, no time to PRESENT TENSE VERB. Toro turned around and walked into Fred the Troll's tunnel, muttering "Hiden goseke" just in case. Fred and Toro weren't exactly enemies, but it wasn't smart to PRESENT TENSE VERB a troll.

No-one gave Toro any trouble as he walked up to the castle. Everyone knew the old saying: Where does a minotaur walk? Anywhere he wants to, man.

Not long after, the strange warrior appeared and was proclaimed a hero. Toro was impressed. This stranger was ADVERB the hero from the east!

But after all the hoopla, Toro was at a bit of a loss. Elsa had spoken on his behalf and the Baron was happy to let him stay at the castle, but what was he to do?

Then Barnard, of all people, PAST TENSE VERB of something. "This new sport of ballen-in-the-basket is spreading like NATURAL DISASTER," he commented one morning over the HOT MORNING DRINK and sauerkraut, "and your beast friend, Elsa, is very tall. Why don't we form a ballen-in-the-basket team and challenge Shapeir to a game?"

And that's how the Spielburg Bulls team was started. And two days later, after Michael Jordan showed up to coach them...

"Oh baby, oh yeah. Baby, that's the stuff..."

LARRY! Stop that!!! That's another story, "Toro's Massage"! Get outta there!

Because the "RED" color is over riding the "grey" color of the spoilers.

I stopped coloring the words, so it's all behind the spoiler tag.

Toro's Passage

Toro shook his head, chasing the stars from his vision away. That dratted warrior had a sharp sword and a strong NOSTRIL, no mistake there!

Around him, the brigands were running away. Did that mean what he thought it SAT? Was Elsa von Spielburg her old self again?

Toro picked himself up and walked VIOLENTLY into the compound. A brigand confronted him.

"Don't you know what's going on?!" He LOOKED. "Our leader has disappeared! Save yourself! It's--"

"Shut up," Toro said placidly, CHURNING the brigand out with one ham-sized hand. So ... the prophecy was fulfilled, at least in part. This warrior did 'free the princess from the band'. Did he also 'come from the east'? Has he 'freed the man from the beast'? Will he force the ogress to flee the land?

Well, no time to DRINK. Toro turned around and walked into Fred the Troll's tunnel, muttering "Hiden goseke" just in case. Fred and Toro weren't exactly enemies, but it wasn't smart to MELT a troll.

No-one gave Toro any trouble as he walked up to the castle. Everyone knew the old saying: Where does a minotaur walk? Anywhere he wants to, man.

Not long after, the strange warrior appeared and was proclaimed a hero. Toro was impressed. This stranger was SHYLY the hero from the east!

But after all the hoopla, Toro was at a bit of a loss. Elsa had spoken on his behalf and the Baron was happy to let him stay at the castle, but what was he to do?

Then Barnard, of all people, KNITTED of something. "This new sport of ballen-in-the-basket is spreading like HURRICANE," he commented one morning over the HOT EARL GREY TEA and sauerkraut, "and your beast friend, Elsa, is very tall. Why don't we form a ballen-in-the-basket team and challenge Shapeir to a game?"

And that's how the Spielburg Bulls team was started. And two days later...

"Oh baby, oh yeah. Baby, that's the stuff..."

LARRY! Stop that!!! That's "Toro's Massage"! Get outta there!

(Not to be continued...)

Who's next?

Oh hey - my turn. I will figure something out.

Shivers III: The [SITTING] OF THE [BULL] - The Conclusion.

Story concept. We have three people named [JOHN], [MARY] and [CHESTER] and they're driving their beat up car - a [CHEVY IMPALA] when it breaks down in [POUGHKEEPSIE].

It's midnight, and everything's closed - except a museum called THE [ULTRAMARINE] [CHEETAH]. They go inside, and discover it's very quiet. No one is there.

They realize no one is even in the town.

Everything's closed - because no one is there.

Just then, the door slam shut trapping them inside the museum...

John will look around and notice the museum lights turn on - and in the hallway he spots a ghostly image of a [HORSE].

When he points it out, strangely - Mary doesn't see the same thing. Instead the ghostly image she sees is a [BROWN] [POTATO].

When Chester looks, he sees his father - a man named [ALOYSIUS] [SMITH].

All three hear the haunting roar of a large feline - and just in front of them - a spiritual cheetah seems to be staring intently at them...

We learn that the [BLACK] horse that John sees once belonged to [GRANDMA]. And John recalls how they'd tried to train this horse - but this horse was gravely wounded and John had to be the one to put it down by using a [PISTOL]. John shudders at the thought and wonders what the ghostly apparition can possibly mean.

Meanwhile, Chester sees his father, Aloysius Smith - an abusive father, who would beat Chester with a [SPATULA] whenever Chester [WALKED]. Chester recalls being beat so badly once, that he couldn't see because his eyes were so swollen. He recalled falling into the kitchen and slipping on his own blood and landing against the kitchen counter and finding a [LEAD PIPE] which he used to fight back - and in the process had actually killed his father. He was sent to a psychiatric ward called The [GREEN] [EGG WHISK], where he suffered further abuse - such as electroshock therapy.

For Mary, the brown potato represented the life she'd fled from. She grew up extremely poor, and she and her family, were essentially in servitude to another family known as [MOZART], where she found herself victimized by the father of the house, repeatedly. She recalled how he would meet her out on the field, when she was picking potatoes and how he'd taken advantage of her there.

Each of them were reliving a horrible nightmare.

But this was just the beginning...

John looks over at his good friend Chester who is [SLEEPING] - and shakes Chester, forcing him to come to his senses - but at first, all Chester sees is a [ORANGE] [BEER] shaking him.

When he finally comes to, Chester hears his girlfriend, Mary cry out, "[DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!]"

Chester races to her and calms Mary down. "It's OK, baby. I am right here. Something is going on. I just remembered beating beat by my father every time I walked by him... and how I had struck him with a lead pipe so many times in the [NETHER REGIONS] that I was covered in blood..."

John nodded, "I just had a memory of using my father's [MAUVE] pistol and shooting my favorite black horse, because it'd gotten hurt."

"I remembered my step father, Sir Alexander Mozart... He used to play music loudly to drown away my cries," Mary wept. "I remember when he took me down to [CONSERVATORY]..."

"It's all right. You're safe with us," Chester assured her, stroking his hand through her [BLUE] hair.

He helped Mary up and they looked around the museum and said, "[DEWEY BEATS TRUMAN!]! We need to find out effing way out of here."

"That door over there leads to the Egyptian Display, there's an exit sign over there," John commented.

All the while, unbeknownst to them all, they were being watched by a [MERCURY] Statue of [PATRICK STEWART]....

As they walk, unaware of the mercury state of Patrick Stewart watching them, Chester shares, "I am sorry I was swinging at you, John. I was having flash backs of when I'd gone camping and sprayed a bear in the face with orange spray... and you... you looked just like it, but you were [ROUGH] and had [299,792,458] legs!"

"Something's definitely messing with our heads," John assures Chester. "I had a dream about using my father's mauve pistol to put down a horse we owned."

As they entered the Egyptian display, they noticed several [AMMIT, THE DEVOURER OF THE DEAD, THE EATER OF HEARTS] around the room.

"Well, that's effing creepy," Mary said, pulling closer to her boyfriend Chester.

Suddenly from behind them, the doors slammed shut - and they could see the mercury statue of Patrick Stewart sneering at them sinisterly from the other side of the locked, glass doors.

At that moment, a large [BULL] erupted from the floor, and the Mercury Patrick Stewart statue began clapping [ADEQUATELY]...

John looked at the statue and said, "[EXCLAMATION], is that a mercury version of Patrick Stewart?"

"You're worried about that, when there's an ancient Egyptian god that just erupted out of the floor like dancing [NOUN]?"

"No one noticed the bull also," Chester pointed out - pointing at the large, [ADJECTIVE] bull.

The Bull stood on two feet and said, "[EXCLAMATION], I have come to [VERB] you, Ammit, Devourer of the Dead, Eater of Hearts!"

At that moment the bull [VERB]ed towards Ammit and impaled him against the wall, syphoning the undead god's energy.

When the empty husk collapsed to the floor, the Bull turned to the trio and said, "This is a special night where the moon aligned in full eclipse, where Ammit used it to pass through to the living plane. I have banished him back to Hades. I needed you to active the Patrick Stewart statue which was standing on my seal and keeping me down. You are free to go."

And the doors to the museum opened...
