Fantasy: The Beast and the Bethany by Jack Meggitt-Phillips
Ebenezer Twitch is five hundred and eleven years old. He has reached this astounding age due
to an elixir of youth provided to him by a magical beast, which lives on the top floor of his
house. Ebenezer adopted the creature when it was tiny and was thrilled to find that it could
magically vomit up any item he desired in exchange for food. As the beast grew larger, so did
its demands for unusual dishes, until Ebenezer’s reliance on it to continue living caused him to
sacrifice some of the world’s rarest (and subsequently extinct) creatures. Now, though, the
beast wants to eat a child…
