cats got into his papers againscattered
them everywhere across the studio looks
like they had a ball
he wasnt upset
like people cats will be cats
the only daunting thing was that
he didnt number the pages or date them he had written at a fever pitch the day beforeexhausted himself he went to bed without undressinglaid on top
the blanket
there were better than thirty pagesboth sides though curiously he failed when finishing a side
to turn it rotate the bottom up whichhe usually did had he
he would have halved his work IDIOT Lamebrain
anwhen he became consumedexcited his handwriting suffered even he struggled
to read it most people found his quiet handwriting
illegible
he had his work cut out for him
he went at it with stubborn
humour
after shuffling the pages
togethergrateful the cats hadnt shredded any though they liberally puncturedtore holes with
tooth or nail he put on his reading
glasses to assemble them
ten minutes in he found what
looked like beginhere if it was that was where he started next word was either stroll scroll scrawll he took liberties spelling if it suited him or
his purpose the two were not the same
what followed was something like a text bubble cartoon bubble textburp
cartoonburp evidently
he couldnt make up his mindliked options they looked wet how does a simple line drawing look
wet at their edges
he could imagine they were silverlighted slick as spit expectorated crudely on
the page
either stroll
scroll scrawll an ancient bug swallowed
in amber an unidentified bug Nope, never saw anything like that before. Things got twelve legs Is it
two bugs? two insects six plus six is twelve.
Don see two heads Me either.
So what did you mean I don’t
remember. Its not even written in the same ink as the rest
of the page Like a lace a splash of
magma. Yah
eventually he cobbled the piece
together
if something would have given him
a headache this ought to have done it
Knock on wood
zip headache
