These developments come amid a deeply troubling reality: grizzly bear mortality in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem reached a record high of 74 known deaths. This number reflects only confirmed cases and likely underrepresents the true toll.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

Even winning this year’s Halloween costume prize couldn’t ease Carol’s existential ennui. “Another October, another ghost, another shiny prize. Maybe a pig’s ear would cheer me. Ah nuts, who am I kidding.”
