I Can Fly Higher Than An Eagle

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 47760

That, he reflects later, was one of the biggest mistakes of his life.

Years later...

“That was definitely one of my lowest moments,” Josh recalls. “I mean, killing Scott and that fat dude from up the street was one thing. But shooting that poor, innocent monkey...” He tries to fend off the tears already rolling down his cheeks. “That was an act of true depravity!”

So anyway, it’s all like...back to the present and stuff...

The monkey is dead. Most of the books have been either shot up or defiled (yes, defiled). And in the wake of this wanton violence there’s Josh, standing there in a daze. His eyes are glazed over and there's an icy smile on his face, his pistol still smokes in his trembling hand. He’s tasted blood now, and he thirsts for more of it.

But the staircase room offers a poor murderer to victim ratio. Somehow he has to find his way out of here! He struggles to remember that secret exit he had discovered once, but he comes up with nothing. The files in his sick brain really need a good dusting. Too bad he fired that tiny maid he caught stealing marmalade from the pantries in his head.

“The maid who cleaned the files in my brain,” he says in monotone. “Her name was Fifi.”Yes, Josh is quite insane by this point.

Eventually, Josh settles down.

Weeks pass...

Months pass...

Josh is once again resigned to his fate of being locked up in this hell hole forever and ever and ever and ever...

“...and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever...” Josh mumbles, rocking himself back and forth where he’s cowering on the floor, curled up into a fetal position. “...and ever and ever and ever and ever...”

The stench in the room is awful, as he has simply ignored the corpses of his ‘friends’ and that poor, poor monkey. The ceiling and walls are covered with flies, who somehow found their way into the elusive staircase room. Actually, Josh has come to enjoy their company. He begins to learn some of their names. As time progresses, he even comes to name himself ‘Lord BuzzBuzzy-BuzzBuzz, King of the Fly-People’.

This could be the start of something good! Ha! Yeah right! This is stupid!

  1. But that doesn't stop Josh, or as he prefers to be called now - Lord Buzz - from keeping at it.
  2. That's when the Story Cops arrive.
  3. That's when we discover there really is a great deal we don't know about spotted lemurs...
  4. Josh finds a fly-killing gun
