How did I become a Fester called Death Warmed Over and how is that name so obviously perfect for me?

I will attempt to explain why...

I was born a common Fester living a common life. Going to school, working out at the gym, working at my job, coming home to my room at the resort at Veta Lake. Yes, just a regular Joe Blow. Nothing special about me.

I had fun with my siblings and Hannibal themed account mates in this acct.I loved having my Patches and having a Mother's Day Memorial Frame in remembrance of my grandmothers. Mama loved me in my common form. We are all special to her.

The difference was I tend to meddle, explore, be overly curious. You would think that would be my Patches' place to act like that. Much more fitting for a minion based on a cat.

No my Patches tends to eat, sleep, eat, sleep, use her minion box, eat, sleep, chase her tail, eat, sleep.

One night I saw what I know now was my minion Explosion across the lake. I did not know what it was then It was just a glowing neon green light. I put on my life jacket and took out one of the resort's boats and paddled myself across and went over to investigate.

Explosion said, "Take me home with you. I am a minion with no pet."

"I have a Patches.", I explained looking Explosion all over for a any sign of a mouth. He appeared to just be black matter that had a green neon glow about him. I did see little bluish eyes in the middle largest part of the black matter.

"That Patches would be happy in your treasure laying with that frame and your other treasures", pleaded Explosion, "Now as for me. I would follow you around on every adventure plus I would give you this."

With that he shone a light on what I now know is a Nuclear Potion."What is that?", I asked curiously picking up and holding the odd looking brew in my talons.

"Why, it will make you like me!", answered Explosion.

"Sorry, you see my mom loves Festers and if I came home looking like you. She would be upset.", I explained as politely as I could.

"No, you misunderstand.", determinedly explained Explosion, "You will still be a Fester. Just another color."

So, I drank it. I felt like I was dying. I writhed and grunted, protesting as the potion overtook every fiber of my being. Then I laid there not even breathing it seemed. I thought the little guy had poisoned me. Then I felt hot so I knew I could not be dead. Finally I stood after what seemed like ions of time. I saw the glow come over me. I truly felt like I was death warmed over.

It took awhile for my eyes to adjust for awhile it seemed I would only see neon green. I felt radioactive.

I put Explosion in the boat and as we crossed the lake back to the resort we began to sing "Radioactive" by: Imagine Dragons.

I'm waking up to ash and dustI wipe my brow and I sweat my rustI'm breathing in the chemicalsI'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison busThis is it, the apocalypseWhoa
