the 7 degrees of Fred

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 13044

The meditating elephant didn't seem to notice Fred, it just kept on floating and meditating, meditating and floating. Fred could feel his body move to the rythm of some unheard beat. He let himself relax, he allowed the smooth bobbing gyrations take his form, he simply...let go.

When Fred opened his eyes he was startled to see seven different vistas! Looking up he could see the purple haze, the elephant, and...himself! Looking down was more purple haze and himself! Indeed, Fred saw himself all around for distances beyond measuring (for how can you measure anything in a purple void that was created[?] after Fred destroyed the universe by picking option six?!!? besides, Fred didn't have a tape measure).

"I feel like a butterfly" said fred absentmindedly. "No, I feel more like a poppy seed floating along the currents of a stream....ooooh! here I go down river, up river, down river, up river, down river, up the waterwheel, down the water wheel, into the mill, down the chute, onto the whirling disk.... oooooh! aaaaaaah! here come the smashing block and splat goes the poppy seed..... ooooh I think I don't like being a poppy, poppy, poppy! Oh, here comes a puppy! And I am a tulip.... wait, stop doggy, doggy, doggy..... ouch! don't uproot me..... I am a flea... BOO! Bwahahahaha there goes that doggy!!!"

And so Fred floated just left of oblivion, simultaneously bobbing in seven different directions and having a strange time of it all together. But atleast there weren't any monkeys with manual typewriters clicking away at a news headline that just wouldn't make sense even if there were some marsupial eggheads around to read it.

  1. the 8th dimension...or....where did I put my towel?
