I concur with Jeff on this one; the Suff is definitely scarier with the bells. And I *like* bells.

Me too! I didn't want to ruin the normal Christmas bells, so I had to give him one of his own. Er, two of his own. Maybe there are more somewhere around here...

"Oh, the bells, bells, bells!

What a tale their terror tells

Of Despair!"

This story reminded me of the Poe poem. Nice and creepy holiday horror!

This was so good... was hooked all the way through! Silly mention though, the bells reminded me of a Disney short from Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas where Donald kept hearing "We Wish You Merry Christmas" everywhere. Except... the Suff made the bells terrifying and not at all holly jolly LOL!

Thank you! It reminded me of an old song from one of the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movies, where Santa sings about “Jingle jingle jingle, you will hear my sleigh bells ring!” No disrespect to the Man in Red, of course. His sleigh bells are perfectly safe.

Knocked it out of the park with this one! I can't decide if The Suff is scarier with the bells...definitely. Definitely scarier with the bells.

Poor man. He didn't even realize it, but his ex-monster won in the end and it cost him his life.

Thanks! I was going to try to work in the actual Jingle Bells song somewhere, but it seemed better to just let the bells have their say. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
