haven’t even had lunch yet!”
    “I can have dinner whenever I want.”
    “No you can’t! Not without my permission!”
    The giant’s right fist swung up and punched the left head. Jess giggled.
    “Alright guys.”
    Lilith frowned.
    “Alright guys… and Lilith. I know it looks like we should just attack the two-headed giant all at once. The other two giants have to be near here though. My plan is for one of you to fight this one and then the other three will move on. Any volunteers?”
    Gangrene nodded.
    “Yeah… I’d really like to kill this one. Listening to them arguing is giving me a migraine. Who the hell argues with themselves like that?”
    Jess nodded.
    “Fine. Gangrene can take on this giant and the three of us will move on. Go ahead.”
    Gangrene started running towards the giant.
    “I really need the two of you to shut the fuck up now. I’m tired of listening to you. It’s time for you to die.”
    The two heads looked at each other.
    “Can we eat him?”
    “Of course we can.”
    “But is he lunch or dinner?”
    Gangrene slashed at the giant’s foot with his scythe. It didn’t draw blood, but the giant started hopping around and clutching its foot. Jess, Lilith, and Murmur used the opportunity to sneak by unnoticed. After a minute of running, they felt the ground shaking. Jess, Lilith, and Murmur snuck up on the second giant. The giant was larger than the two headed giant and was skipping while chasing a vulture. The ground shook every time gravity brought him down. He was also singing.
    “Birdie! Birdie! Birdie! Birdie!”
    Lilith put her fingers on her temples.
    “Wow. This is worse than that two-headed idiot.”
    Jess nodded.
    “So you want this one then?”
    “Sure. Why are the giants so annoying? No wonder they all got sent to Hell.”
    Lilith ran towards the giant. The giant saw Lilith approaching and changed his direction and his song. He started running at Lilith and yelling.
    “Demon! Demon! Demon! Demon!”
    Jess and Murmur ran past the second giant. A short time later, they saw a large ball rolling around in front of the entrance to a cave. Jess pointed at it.
    “I think that’s the third giant.”
    Murmur looked at her skeptically.
    “That rolling ball of fat? It’s going too fast. How am I supposed to stop it?”
    “You’re the major demon. You tell me.”
    “I guess I’ll find a way. The staff is in the cave?”
    “If Aim’s intel is accurate. So… who knows?”
    Murmur grinned.
    “Well good luck then. I’ll go take on that rolling ball of fat and see if I can put a stop to it.”
    Murmur ran towards the rolling ball and readied his scythe like a baseball bat. When the ball got close enough, he swung as hard as he could. The ball unfolded itself and fell over. It was the third giant.
    “What did you hit me for?”
    Murmur wasn’t sure how to respond. He decided to answer with a question.
    “Why were you rolling around like that?”
    The giant scratched his chin and thought for a moment.
    “I… I don’t know.”
    Murmur rolled his eyes.
    “Talking to you is a waste of time.”
    “Oh… alright then. I’ll go back to rolling around.”
    Murmur struck with his scythe and Jess ran past them. The cave had very little light but Jess was accustomed to seeing in the dark. She occasionally thought she saw little creatures running around in dark corners but tried to ignore it. She wasn’t afraid. When she came to the end of the tunnel, she stepped into a large circular room. A small fire spread in a circle, blocking the way she had come. The light from the fire showed what the little creatures were that had been following her.
    “They’re cute little monkeys! How adorable!”
    The monkeys ran to the center of the room and started climbing on each other. They merged into a larger monkey with a staff.
    “I am the immortal monkey king. It’s rare that I have visitors. Those idiot giants outside usually annoy everyone away. Who are you and what are you doing
