The Skeleton That Saved Another Skeleton

Once upon a time, there was a skeleton named Tommy. He made people disappear by snapping. He was a puppeteer so he enjoyed making puppets. He had a friend named Ford.

He lived in a house like no other person’s. His house could transform into a jungle gym and a waterpark. His house could also turn into a buffet.

Tommy also likes playing the violin and guitar. He can also become an invisible version of himself.

When Tommy was chilling in his house, his friend was taken away by a vampire and put in a steel cage. He was determined to rescue him. He traveled 12 miles to rescue him. He brought a metal katana to break the bars. He whacked the cage relentlessly. Then they had a party of pizza, soda, and french fries. They played in his water park and they were happy.
