The time had come, the Grinching had started. Those with black hearts began to change. They enlarged in size, green fur sprouting from every pore. Glowing yellow eyes searched for those with full hearts that they could devour. The unchanged hid away in their homes, too terrified to walk the streets.
Christmas time had become a time of fear, the love, joy, and giving of the holiday has long been forgotten. It is a time of fear.
The Grinching began as a virus, air-borne. It attached to the part of the brain that controlled feeling, those who dispised and hated people and the holidays were changed. They changed into Grinches and rampaged around the street, destroying anything in their path. There was no cure.
Locked away in their cellars the unchanged ones lived on canned rations for the entire month of December. They rarely spoke a word in fear of attracting the Grinches.
The wonderous holidays are gone, and only fear remains. Fear of the Grinching.
