Shells--The Sequel

 When we last read about the Shell family of Myrtle Beach, they had been split up by forces beyond their control.  Papa Shell became a doorstop in the home of the condo salesman's "niece".  Mama Shell was donated to the South Carolina State Museum.  Baby Shell was thrown back into the surf by a little boy.  We now rejoin the Shells two months later.
 The condo salesman visited his "niece" one night to watch "Friday the 13th Part V" on her VCR.  The TV was now where Papa Shell was resting on the floor.  He heard this story about Jason coming back from the dead and killing everybody in the movie.  Papa Shell was inspired.  He thought that if Jason could do it, then he could too.  He started rocking back and forth making a noise that sounded like somebody was knocking at the door.  The "niece" told the condo salesman to get the door, because she was too scared.  As he walked toward the knocking, he kicked Papa Shell.  Papa Shell grabbed the salesman's foot and wouldn't let go.  The salesman yelled, but his "niece" didn't hear him.  She was too busy yelling at Jason on the TV.  The neighbors called the police when they heard the noise.  When the police got there, they found the salesman was dead and the "niece" was babbling something about Jason.  A policeman picked up Papa Shell and though he could donate him to the South Carolina State Museum as a tax write-off.  At last, Papa and Mama Shell could be together again.
 Unfortunately, Mama Shell saw another shell in the museum and fell in love.  When Papa Shell arrived at the museum, he was told the awful truth--Mama Shell had found somebody else.  Dejected, Papa Shell sat in his case and watched the world go by,  Mama Shell married this new shell and they lived happily ever after, in the case next to Papa Shell's case.
 Meanwhile, Baby Shell was spending his time dodging feet and sharks in the surf.  He remembered something his Mama said, "Go to school".  He looked around and saw a school of fish swimming by.  He joined the school.  The fish looked at him and saw that Baby Shell was different.  In fact, they thought he was wearing a mask.  A flounder took pity on Baby Shell and became his friend.  The shell studied economics and made straight A's.  Soon, he was ready to graduate.  Baby Shell was captured by a man with a pipe.  The man took Baby Shell with him back to Columbia, where he is now the chief advisor to the man with the pipe at a store called Belk.
