A Hellish Stench, And Then Terror

A Hellish Stench, And Then Terror

Olmart Balgonian/die-ritzetext

It was hardly the most auspicious beginning for a holiday parade. But when Martin B'Turman, a Pentacostalist preacher, bent over to stay his bindle stirrups, he let loose with a remarkable blast.

This was not to be the final act of an unbelievable farrago. There would soon be more scents eafting through the air, eyewitnesses reported. The first of these new odours came when, from out of the woods, a smell
described as being “like a certain kind of toast when you leave it out too long” snaked around the olfactory glands of paraders. Just as the throng was wondering what could produce such a stench, they heard a roar, which was widely believed to be connected to the smell in some obscure way. But just what the connection was, was never determined.

The parade soon descended into a shambles. Local constabulary were
called, but they were able to accomplish nothing. The smell had disrupted
events beyond repair. People were running to and fro, screaming, crying and yelling. Tears were streaming down the cheeks of children. Several grown men pitched faints.

The source of the scent was thought by many to be the Sasquatch, the
Hairy Man of the Woods. No proof was found, but several swore this was an
indisputable fact. They point to the strange history of the area and say: it has happened before, it happened today, and by gum it’ll happen again.
