Piece #10 for
circe_tigana's 882 Ways to Appease the Heathen Gods challenge
[]
Everyone knows that bad little boys and girls get coal.
Santa, however, is reserving something special this year for the *evil* ones.
"Smithers, go empty out the coal again." Mr. Burns waves spindly fingers towards the fireplace.
"Yes sir."
*clink*
"Mr. Burns? There appears to be a...coin."
"A coin Smithers?"
"A gold one I believe."
"Let me see it." Mr. Burns grunted with the weight of the piece and lifted it up towards the light. "Exotic. But rather depressing."
He thought for a moment.
"Give it to the orphans."
"Sir?!"
"It'll be my good deed for the year."
"Yes sir."
