After a week of Village tribute to the dead and dissipated, the Daniel G. Historical Ghost Museum opened this morning to great success. Ghosts, reptiles, and rats attended the gala that included wine, cheese, pie, and dancing. From outside of the village, one former traveler sent in a bilingual rendition of the Governor’s favorite song, and guests danced the night away to this lovely tune.
Kendra, the renowned karaoke mogul and reptile translator to the stars, performed the piece and included the following dedication:
“For all Transition Village residents, alive or dead, reptile or human, and to the greatest of them all, our beloved Governor: SSSSSSSSIIITHHHHHFFFFRAAAAA!”
The performer noted that her anticipated single will release on either Shdhdhsaoa or Qqqyyyaaa. The exact date is yet to be determined. Keep an eye (and an ear) out for this great talent on the rise!
The opening celebrations were somewhat subdued, as the village is still in mourning for those lost in last week’s battle, when what has since come to be known as the flower force fought off the vicious rebel army. The rebels’ goal was to destroy and replace the Governor and prevent the living from ever entering the village again, but they were thwarted by a brave and determined group of travelers, lizards, snakes, rats, and villagers. Many brave creatures, dead and alive, were lost in the process.
In the course of the battle several important mysteries were solved. It was determined that the strange white trees that grew so rapidly in the northern part of the village are Frenghif trees, and that their fruits are extremely toxic to many ghosts. The flower force was able to use the blue Frenghif fruits to hold off the attacking ghosts, led by Erdu Skard, until the entire defending force could arrive. Many of the trees were damaged in the battle that ensued, but horticulturalist Arnold Plotter is currently caring for them and expects them all to make a full recovery.
Erdu Skard and his force were defeated after a long and grueling fight, but not before a dragon born of Erdu’s malice consumed the soul of villager Earl DeRosa. In a surprising twist, however, a more dangerous beast took action. Mrs. Nibbles, the ghost kitten assisting the travelers, leapt on the dragon, pinning and devouring it in moments. Earl’s soul was later removed from the kitten through the artistic efforts of visitor Jane Doh and her magic crayon, and Earl was revived by the ghost boy Billy, who sacrificed his own happiness to bring Earl back to life.
Repairs are currently being made to the burned sections of the church and the Governor’s mansion. Villagers held a service for those who lost their lives in the great battle, and tributes will be held throughout the month. The village would like to thank all those who assisted in defeating Erdu’s army, including the brave travelers who have since moved on to their next adventures.
Be sure to send your memorials, tributes, and other works of art to the Daniel G. Historical Ghost Museum. Museum staff, with the help of Transition Times editor and temporary curator Jan Smoulter, have created a website to display the most cherished works of art in the new collection.
