SCENE: Courtroom 222 in a massive underground city beneath the dead city of Orlando. The new city was called Boybando. No one knows why. It is still the year 2525,
Burnees stood tall before the judge. She knew he would order her killed so she thought she might as well have some fun. You know that kind of fun that makes the target explode.
JUDGE: Burnees Firesky, how do you plead to these charges?
BURNEES: Which charges?
JUDGE: These charges you have been brought up on — corrupting God-fearing people, blasphemy. sedition and 10 charges of antagonistication
‘BURNEES: I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t recognize your jurisdiction o’er me. Your jurisdiction needs some consultation,
JUDGE: What are you saying?
BURNEES: I am reminded of the words of Prosby who said it so profoundly:
Gonna dig ya on a scoobydoo. Gonna gitcha on’a scubadie
Ooh boog-a-boo you. You ooh boog-a-boo you, little boy
Get hip to the consultation of the boolawee.
JUDGE: See Ms. Firesky this is just the kind of thing that has gotten you into so much trouble. And don’t ever say ‘boolawee’ in my court again.
BURNEES:: You say that because you are not hip to the consultation of the boolawwee.
JUDGE: Out of order. Now Ms,Firesky you now have 11 charges of antagonistication. I sentence you to be hung, no, nailed to a tree, a tall tree, with rusty nails. What do you have to say for yourself?
BURNEES: Well, in the words of Akfak: “He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.”
The Judge started to talk but Burnees continued. “But she who seeks will find and she who does not seek will not be found.:
Again the judge , very confused now, tried again but Burnees continued louder. “And she who seeks sea shells by the seashore will sell sea shells by the seashore but how many sea shells fetched from the sea shore will she sell?
Miles away, both vertically and horizontally, Prosby shifted from shadow to shadow on his way to the Alexander Springs portal. He may die trying but he was on his way to rescue Burnees.
