Rudolf the Politically Correct Reindeer

Rudolph was a four-hooved ungulate,

Who, incidentally, possessed a nasal appendage of a maroon lustre.
Consequently, if cir***stances were to present themselves that he ever came into your view,

You would most undoubtedly remark at to its illuminary qualities.

Had previously teased, chuckled boisterously, and dubbed him unspeakable pseudonyms --
the objective of which was to lower his self-esteem and make him miserable.

They also excluded him from participation in leisure activities consistent with their species.

However, on the twenty-fourth of December in an unspecified year...

A mythological, supernatural being inherent to western culture (who symbolizes the Christmas attitude and allegedly brings gifts to children) arrived through the supersaturated, humid air.

He formally invited Rudolph, due to his extraordinary nasal characteristic.

To stand at the forefront of his snow vehicle with the express purpose that he navigate through the nocturnal mist.

At that point, the multitude of other members of the population in his ecological community who had previously teased, chuckled boisterously, and dubbed him unspeakable pseudonyms, reversed their disposition toward Rudolph to a more congenial, amicable relationship.

They consequently exclaimed with great exaltation and fervor,

You shall most certainly be recorded in the annals of time, and your memory will be preserved for posterity!

It'll be sad to see FCS be discontinued. But I know that sometimes things change in our lives, making it more difficult to move forward with volunteer commitments. It is my understanding that Terry Wessner edited and published FCS entirely in his spare time, which is quite noteworthy.

For those who haven't read FCS, back issues are available for purchase. If you're interested in lycanthropes, it's worth a read.
