The pie lay on the breakfast counter amidst unfurled layers of greaseproof paper, it's thick crust golden-brown and shining with layers of egg glaze.

Marshall eyed it suspiciously. The pie, so far as he could tell, did not eye him back.

"Hey, Syndi," he called through the open door that connected the kitchen to the living room. "Did anyone stop by the house while I was out?"

Syndi shrugged, not looking up from her magazine.

"I didn't see anyone," she said. "But if they came to the back door, they could have just let themselves in. Why?"

"There's a mystery pie next to the fruit bowl," said Marshall. "Mom and Dad aren't due back 'til tonight and that wasn't in the icebox this morning."

"Mystery pie, huh," said Syndi, turning a page. "Unidentified kitchen pie. Pies of unknown origin. Possibly stolen. Pie crimes. Pierated. Pieracy on the pie seas."

"You're not listening to me at all, are you?" asked Marshall.

"No," said his sister. "And I bought that from Grandma's Kitchen on the way back from my Needlework and Knife-Throwing class. Stop assuming everything is weirdness-related and eat your lunch."

"You could have just said."

"I could have," Syndi agreed.

The floor to ceiling windows of the Eerie Multiplex exploded outwards, and only the heaving mass of congealed dairy filling the street outside protected bystanders from the falling glass. From the mezzanine floor that lead to screens 6, 6, 6 and 13, Marshall and his friends watched in horror as Poplio, eldritch God of stale popcorn and the cinema-going experience, set upon the molten cheese beast born from the deepest depths of the Eerie Waste Processing Plant and Pizzeria.

Melanie Monroe fell to her knees amidst the wreckage of a dozen concession stands, Devon screaming along with her. Tod McNulty pressed his hands over his eyes, black-painted nails digging into soft flesh. Even Simon and Marshall, veteran experiencers of the Weird, blanched and turned away.

Janet Donner sighed around the twisted crazy straw in her Cherry Cornade. Popcorn cultists, their robes an ill-considered and very unscary halfway point between usher and ring wraith, stared at her. Slowly, one of them raised a trembling arm to point at her.

"You!" he said, his voice dripping with accusation and his breath smelling of hot dogs that have sat too long on the rollers. "Why are you not struck blind by the glory of our master's propagation?"

Janet shrugged.

"I wait tables at the Baitshop and Sushi Bar every summer," she said. "Once you see what people get up to with anything even a little bit tentacle-y, a giant pile of popcorn mating with ambulatory cheese dip isn't that big of a deal."

The cultists parted before her.
