Lazarus Stork had a rather unhealthy fondness for food... Thus begins this somewhat disappointing tale of love and muffins (and love of muffins). This story does not have a particularly innovative name, nor does it have any "traditional" Sleepy Hollow themes (such as decapitation), and I'm very sorry for that. It is not all that exciting, if one is used to exciting elements in Sleepy Hollow adaptations (such as decapitation), but what it lacks in excitement, it makes up for in... Muffins. So go ahead and pick up this muffin of a story and read to your heart's discontent. I'd warn you that you should never read anything I've written, but it looks like I'm already too late. ******* ******* ******* ******* ******* ******* ******* This story is an entry in the #OnceUponNow contest. The voting period is between June 14 and June 20-something. (Of course I don't know all the details. That would seem too desperate.) I would greatly appreciate votes (obviously) but should you decide that this story is not worth a click, you shall remain perfectly safe because I cannot threaten to set my iguanas on you, due to the nature of the contest.
