Renfield came barging through the door of the hotel room, threw an I Love Seattle t-shirt in Amadeus' direction and then sat down on the sofa and went "Harrumph."
"I take it that it did not go well," Amadeus removed his sweater to try on the t-shirt, "seeing as how I watched CNN News all day and there was nothing about a Zombie Turkey Apocalypse taking place."
"It did not," Renfield swallowed a bunch of whisky from the bottle in his coat pocket, "Sterling used an English translation of a Hecate mystery cult spell that was originally written in ancient Greek. But instead of translating Hecate (the name of the ancient Greek goddess of witchcraft), the translator translated Socrates' name for Hecate. So Sterling kept invoking Socrates' name while reciting the spell and apparently Socrates is totally uninterested in raising turkeys from the dead. So it didn't work."
"Well, the trip wasn't a total waste," Amadeus put on the I Love Seattle t-shirt and smiled, "at least the t-shirt fits."
To be continued.
