An Octopus' Garden In The Shade Is To Roll In Dough?

The multi-millionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set sighed.

"I'm so tired, Athelstan," he remarked to his valet and butler.

"But the sun has set, sir," Athelstan remarked, "you should feel more energetic."

"Hm," Set glanced at the bill for his satellites sending down holographic images of Charlie Chaplin during the Spain vs. Germany game in Durban, South Africa.

"Renfield promised me chaos and anarchy and said we would profit from this," Set sipped his Earl Grey tea with a dash of Type O blood.

"I myself have had a good week, sir," Athelstan noted, "I followed Paul the psychic octopus' advice and bet on Spain against Germany."

"Isn't he predicting Spain over the Netherlands?" Set asked.

"Yes, sir," Athelstan replied, "one should get kraken over what this octopus has to say."

"Hm," Set missed being a billionaire.

He had been reduced to being a mere multi-millionaire as a result of the economic crash of the autumn of 2008.

Set wondered should he bet all his fortune on Spain winning against the Netherlands on the advice of an octopus.

"Your calamari, sir," Athelstan presented him with his evening appetizer.

To be continued.
