An alarming incident involving a bunch of melancholic cupcakes was witnessed on Sunday the 7th of March.
The baking heat may have caused rise to a possible case of Neurotic Depression (see definition below) in these cupcakes as their icing began to melt and hungry eyes took hold on their sugary goodness, thus resulting in a mass suicide... or was it murder!?
All that remained at the scene of the crime were their crumby petticoats. sigh.

Neurotic Depression is a common disease entity. The depression is usually not as severe as that which occurs in psychotic depression. The predominant manifestation may be sadness and a feeling of helplessness in the face of a difficult situation. These feelings may be related to objective difficulties at home or at work or to a health problem, but the patient is typically aware that his depressive response is not justified by the facts. Some degree of self-blame may be present, but the most important underlying feature, guilt is either not mentioned or not consciously acknowledged.
