Sheesh, what's in this Theraflu crap anyway?
At least that's my excuse. Fucked up on cold medicine. But what's my excuse for this latest installment of GALAXY REVOLT? Well, clearly my eleven-year-old self knew that I was concocting the perfect plan to torment my friends forty years in the future and take rich delight in it ha ha ha.
Seriously. What's in this shit?
"-bone." (1)
Imagine the effort it took for me to doubly hyphenate "back-" and then turn the Big Chief tablet sheet over and complete the word: "-bone." It's called writin'! Sadly this was my peak as a writin' fellow. Four decades of slidin' since.
"Arkly was one of the wisest on the planet, and had never encountered anything as weird or confusing as this, and probably won't again for many eons." (2-7)
Getting a bit meta here.
"Everyone was speechless. They all wanted to come up to Sho-grine and hug him, but their other half wanted to send him away, so they wouldn't have to tolerate him." (8-14)
Is it meta in here, or is it just me? (Just me.)
"Suddenly, before Sho-grine knew it, he was back in Cylorn's mother's cavern." (15-17)
Is it Freudian in here, or is it just me? (Just Freudian.)
(As an unnecessary side note, one must note sidely that this is the beginning of "chapter" 5. In chapter 1 we're given some unwanted world/galaxy building. In chapter 2 we are introduced to some creature who wasn't so miserable and his "full afledged" family. In chapter 3 we breathlessly learn that the non-miserable creature's name is Sho-grine and that the creatures do a lot of gargling and generally act mysterious if not pointless. In chapter 4 Sho-grine has a chilling right up his back-bone, and even the wisest among them don't know shit. And now we get our non-questions non-answered in this non-climactic chapter 5. Or DO WE??)
It's hard not to ask at this point what does any of this have to do with a galaxy revolting? Well, tune in next week! And you'll like it! Or I'll smash my fist into your face-
-bone.
