Irving's face felt flushed. Shame. Spread

  • Irving's face felt flushed. Shame. Spread like a fiery rash all across his face. Of course, he could not verbally acknowledge this. No, he must continue on as if nothing happened.
  • Stumbling, fumbling, miss-spitting game prompted many embarrassing moments for this young awkward inkling of a boy. But this time, this singular moment excavated his very existence
  • Leaving him so empty, bereft of any usable passion. So,
  • he succumbed to the voices inside his head. There was Larry, intellectual & witty. Curly, naïve & silly. And Moe, brash & outspoken. This was no laughing matter. Slowly he turned.
  • Step by step, inch by inch, he returned to the lectern as 500 collegiate freshpeople carried on as usual. "Yes! The Three Stooges are America's answer to the Karamazovs!" Professor
  • Smolenksy shouted. A couple students in the 1st row woke.One dropped a copy of Cliff's notes on Dostoyevsky's novels.Prof.Smolenksy picked them up & lit them. "This is a revolution
  • ! Shit! Prof.Smolenksy ran to the red button and slammed it down. Yelling into the mic he said "Attention all teachers, the children of the laboratory are rising up against us!
  • Klaxons blared. Teachers darted to and fro, dodging the wrath of bloated, horizontal youngsters floating upwards, wielding acid flasks. "Too much helium!" realized Prof. Smolensky.
  • But it was too late. Prof. Smolensky was powerless to stop the children as the all all floated out of the skylight, mischievously dropping their flasks of hydrochloric acid on
  • The unsuspecting pedestrians below, none of who had unbrellas or protective gear. Mr. Jones was one of the survivors and filed a class auction lawsuit...against who, though!

    It's short for Heathcliff, Slim, but we'll let that one go.
