A ransom note

    I was excited for a nice, romantic valentine's day with My Megan. I had written a very nice card, bought some yummy candies, and picked out a very nice gift. But when I got home, My Megan had a big surprise for me. The witch who had been tormenting Megan had been taken for ransom. As the night progressed, I got many emails from the kidnappers. Each one increasing my worry for the poor witch. Here's how they went (captions added by Mr. Mike):

Letter 1:

TO MICHAEL K. NEVILLE:
THIS NOTE IS TO INFORM YOU THAT THERE HAS BEEN A KIDNAPPING.
YOUR WITCH HAS BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGE!!  ATTACHED IS THE PROOF.
AWAIT MY DEMANDS!!

Poor witch, why not hocus pocus your way to safety?

Letter 2:

MICHAEL NEVILLE:
THIS IS NO JOKE!!! AWAIT MY DEMANDS, AND THEN FOLLOW THROUGH!!
OR THIS IS ALL THAT WILL BE LEFT OF THE WITCH!

New! Witch hat scented candles.

Letter 3:

I MEAN IT!!!  YOUR WITCH AWAITS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH, IF YOU DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.
SEE ATTACHED!!
HEE HA HEE.

Beary water torture?

 
Letter 4:

MAKE NO ATTEMPT TO RESCUE THE WITCH ON YOUR OWN.
I HAVE A SPECIAL GUARD FOR HER!!!
SEE???

Dorothy, the wicked!

Letter 5:

IT IS TIME TO REVEAL MYSELF.
I AM...THE FERECIOUS, THE EVIL, THE CRAFTY...THE SNUGGLY!
I AM THE KIDNAPPER OF THE WITCH!

Bad bear.

Letter 6:

THESE ARE MY DEMANDS:
GIVE MISS MEGAN THE BEST VALENTINE'S DAY EVER OR.......THIS WILL HAPPEN TO THE WTICH!
HARRY, THE EVIL BEAR.

So sad, so evil.

At this point, I was very worried for the poor witch and decided to cooperate a little bit. I responded and said "Okay, I will, I will." Then I got the last message:

Letter 7:

WELL MIKE:
YOU HAVE WON.  MISS MEGAN TELLS ME THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST FABULOUS VALENTINE'S DAY SHE'S EVER HAD. 
GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LET WITCH GO.  SIGH.
CAN YOU GUESS WHERE I HAVE BEEN HOLDING THE WITCH HOSTAGE?
HARRY, #2 IN MISS MEGAN'S AFFECTIONS :(

Sitting on water bottles. Keep those away from my witch!

We did have a very good valentine's day, even with the scary kidnapping events. My Megan is so much fun. I love her lots.
