And then Melanthe went missing

My great-grandfather used to tell me, "Don't chase after backpacks because you'll only end up with a picture in your foot." I never quite understood his advice until one valentine's day, I was gardening with my best friend Melanthe. All of a sudden, we found an underground tunnel! It was purple and spooky sounds came from deep within. Melanthe saw something interesting inside, jumped in, and I never saw her again. Great-granddaddy was right!
