The lazy 34ef574274 boy “Jack” 3ed9094b39 from the ad07d10a37 story we 32c64c6b6f all know 5c8ee588ed has become 18401ff99c an old 94a32a5cc6 man with 289d336cf3 snow-white hair, 5b98e47908 “Mr. Jack.” Living in a 8aa254dbf3 grand castle with towering 35810acbc4 spires, dressed in fine c651ff9113 clothes, eating good food, 9e4415df76 and sleeping in a a8f34fa286 comfortable bed—Mr. Jack.

It was a giant d7a5de500b who killed my father. The giant bed0c9cfda who ruled 4c9f258517 over that 33d9a5f04e opulent city bc9c6a94a6 at the 6f52739720 time.

The giant twisted 663eefc88c my father’s head 05dcf04b6f from his body 955c6da96b while he was e0bcb0ec5a still alive and 1d7f8ddc85 devoured everything but 8bdd5692ec the head.
