Tinkerbell Fanny McWiddle has murdered 1327 people in three years, which is quite unusual because 77-and-a-half-year-old grandmothers usually kill far fewer people. And today she wants to make it 1328. Wouldn't you if the great holy bullock charged you with saving the world when you would rather be enjoying a picked egg and the six o'clock news? But no, the holy one is immortal, isn't he. It doesn't help that a pocket-billiards-playing, hook-nosed sociopath who lives over her back fence has started dating the local Satan. Which is why the world needs saving. Quite urgently actually. And while Tinkerbell is mewing about the inconvenience of it all, things are only going to get worse. Best get on with it then.
