A tongue-dangling leer draped the Sasquatch’s chin. He tilted his head, scrutinising me, greedy lips closed in. A flash of tongue whipped past my face. My rum-and-raisin ice-cream vanished without a trace. He chortled at my contorted guise and catapulted away.

oh, how nice..a delightful take, I’d say!

The next time you get your ice cream to go, I suggest eating it indoors or far away from the Sasquatch’s habitat.
