The Only Time a Wulf Would Save Cows

            It was noon, the busiest time of day for Jim Skinner and his men. All around the world, their empire ran deeper than anything else. Crowds of people surrounded their palaces, each person waving crisp bills like maniacs. A window opened and the first man stepped forward. After carefully staring towards the heavens, he mustered the confidence to speak his request. “I’ll have a number three, with no pickles and a large soda.”
            The McDonald’s kingdom has thrived for many years, starting long ago under Ray Kroc. In memory of the past kings, Skinner created tens of thousands more palaces across the United States. At these new man-feeders, people could relax, drink, and be merry. Every day, hundreds of Americans would walk into Skinner’s beautiful palaces, enjoying the beautiful bounty of burgers. However, the peace and tranquility that existed would soon come to crashing halt.
            A disastrous, disgusting disease infected the cattle ranches that King Skinner used to fuel his glorious palaces. This monstrous death-bringer would only infect the cows that were within the McDonalds’ kingdom, although nobody was quite sure on the why. Each night, as the ranchers went to sleep, the cows would slowly drop dead. One by one, as if being tipped over by some invisible monster, the cows would fall flat on their sides and lay there forever more. Their death-cries were hideous, striking fear into the locals each night. This disease was destroying Skinner’s kingdom from the inside.
            Farmers around the kingdom called their leader with concern, “I have no clue what is going on, sir! I go to bed, wake up, and the cows are dead!” The palaces were running dry. They could no longer sustain their people, for there was not enough beef for everyone. The working men, who once rejoiced in the bounty of McDonald’s, found themselves staying in the office eating eggplant and egg salad. Skinner’s men weren’t getting customers, causing a loss of profit that would come out of their paycheck. Dark times were setting over Skinner’s kingdom, and out of fear of a revolt, he called in a favor.
            The next morning, after losing 200 more cows, Skinner decided to make the phone call to the nearest kingdom, Burger King. “Bernard? It’s Jim. Is your nephew by chance still studying to become a veterinarian?” The nephew was a youthful, ambitious man looking to prove himself in the medical world. Soon the two kings carried out a compromising contract, and after a few days, the life-saver and his team from Burger King arrived at McDonald’s headquarters.
            “Halt!” barked the security guard. “Just where do you think you’re going?” “I have been called in by Jim Skinner himself to take care of your cow problem,” announced the guest. After the guard stepped aside, the team made their way to Skinner’s office. It was a huge, beautiful room. Paintings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars hung from every wall. His desk, decorated with drawings of delicious deserts, stretched from wall to wall. It was there that their task was explained to them.
            “We’ve discovered that this disease is actually a highly evolved form of the long extinct Bubonic Plague. Your job is to find a cure for it and bring order back to McDonald’s. Do this, and I will ensure that you are sent back home with half my kingdom’s riches and more fame than Dr. Doolittle.” With that being said, the young vet set out with his team to the nearest farm to wait for the disease to strike.
            Upon arriving at the farmhouse, the young men walked out the fields where the cattle were grazing. Armed with test tubes, syringes, needles, and lab coats, the disease-fighters were prepared. The beef-reviver quickly picked a cow, took its vital signs, and headed back to the house. Before opening the door, he turned around to face his patients. “I promise you all I will do what I can to protect you. You have the word of Blake Wulf.” Blake entered the house only to be greeted with a feast of pizza, cake, and beer. He quickly took the hint and joined his team and hosts in devouring the food. Several hours later, after the sun had set, the men heard the wretched moans from the cattle.
            One man rushed outside and made his way towards one of the dying cows. However, once he was there, the cow immediately fell over right on top of him. Struggling for air, the man squirmed and thrashed, but it was hopeless. The weight of the bovine crushed his rib cage before he suffocated, marking the first human victim of the disease. Blake wrapped himself in a pure white coat, and threw his medical utility belt around his waist. He ran towards another cow, and quickly took a blood sample. Blood gushed everywhere, but the animal-savior beat the hell-bringer and managed to fill a test tube with the cows dying cells.
            After making his way back into the house, Blake set up his equipment and began to do tests on the sample. After numerous experiments, the vet discovered the secret behind it. Blake managed to break down the disease to its main components and formulated a life-restorer. He had managed to find a way to defeat the disease, and so he claimed victory. The vet sent his data back to Jim Skinner and notified him immediately of the cure he had created. Blake Wulf, the beast-lover from Burger King, had brought an end to the suffering within the McDonald’s kingdom and restored peace and tranquility around the United States.
