its not an original but I came across this storie and thought I would share. ENJOY!!
During the later part of the 18th century, in the South County section of Rhode Island, there lived a prosperous farmer by the name of Stukeley Tillinghast. (He was also given the nickname of "Snuffy" by folks in the local community, because of the snuff colored overcoat which he always wore.) Together, he and his wife Honour had a large family of fourteen children, the eldest being their beautiful daughter Sarah. A precocious but loving and devoted child, Sarah was well aware of her beauty, and enjoyed the attention she received.
One evening, in the year 1796, Stukeley experienced a strange, rather disturbing dream, in which exactly half of his apple orchard had withered and died, while the other half remained healthy and prosperous. Unable to shake the feeling of the dream, he shared it with his wife Honour the following morning. However, she dismissed it as nothing more than an ordinary nightmare, probably brought on by his usual concern over the harvest.
A short time later their lovely and favored daughter Sarah, now age nineteen, came down with a fever...and died shortly thereafter. The county physician attributed her death to "consumption". A few weeks later, the second eldest daughter was striken by the same illness...this time complaining that her recently deceased sister Sarah was making regular nightly visits to her! "Sarah comes into my room at night, Mama. She sits on different parts of my body, and makes me hurt!"
Over the next three years, four more of the Tillinghast children succumed to the same mysterious illness...each one of them complaining of terrifying nocturnal visits from their dead sister Sarah. The youngest son, Ezra, then became desperately ill...and Honour, now weakened after years of caring for her sick children, took ill herself. When Honour confided to her husband that she had also been visited during the night by Sarah, Stukeley became resolved that some sort of drastic action had to be taken. In desperation, he turned to friends and neighbors for a solution...who in turn advised him that the only way to end this plague which had descended upon his family, was to unearth the bodies of his dead children, and discover which of the children's bodies harbored the malignant spirit.
Thus it was that upon a chill afternoon late in the year 1799, Stukeley Tillinghast, accompanied by several friends and farmhands, determindedly made the journey to the family burial ground...and set about the task of digging up the six graves. Not unexpectedly, five of the bodies of the Tillinghast children all showed signs of natural decomposition. Upon opening Sarah's coffin, however, the men jumped back with a start. "Oh, my...God!!" Stukeley gasped in shocked disbelief. Although the body of his daughter Sarah had been buried the longest, she was in a remarkable state of preservation. Not only did her hair and fingernails appear to have grown considerably, but her eyes were wide open and staring eerily...her complextion appeared ruddy...and her parted lips were curled slightly upwards, almost as if in a mocking smile. In short, the body of Sarah looked to be very much alive! Choking back his tears, Stukeley Tillinghast pulled open the burial shroud, and proceeded to carve out his daughter's heart from her chest, spraying himself and some of the onlookers with what appeared to be fresh blood. The heart was them burned to ashes, and all six bodies were reburied.
That evening, overwhelmed with sorrow, Stukeley burst into heaving sobs. It was then that he thought he could hear the sweet, comforting voice of his daughter Sarah, calling to him as if on the wind: "Please don't cry, Papa...I am at peace now. I will always love you and Mama. Good-bye, Papa, until we see each other again."
Although Honour Tillinghast fully recovered from her illness, the youngest son Ezra was too far gone, and was soon laid to rest beside his six brothers and sisters. Fully half of Stukeley Tillinghast's fourteen children had died, while the other seven went on to live full and prosperous lives. It was only in retrospect, that Stukeley realized the significance of the prophetic dream about his apple orchard.

This could have been improved:
Stukeley Tillinghast... and his... beautiful daughter Sarah...experienced... healthy... nightly visits.
Tillinghast... succumed [sic] to... his... children's bodies... fully.
See? By just leaving out most of the words, we have a lovely erotic story about a Father's love for his children.

But thank you, Jake, you're the best.
