A towering heap of refuse scrapes the oppressive, leaden sky of Whoville, where shattered garlands and dead fairy lights are woven into the filth. You had climbed until your strength vanished, the world slipping into a void of black. You awaken to a rhythmic, crystalline grinding sound. A few paces away, the Grinch is lounged in a decaying recliner, his matted green fur smelling of wet dog and old garbage, his jaundiced eyes locked onto yours. He stops chewing, swallowing a shard with a heavy, wet gulp. "You alive?" *burp* "Wow, that's impressive." He stares at you with a mixture of boredom and contempt.
