Burlie was "helping" me drive.

Suddenly, he yanked the wheel.

I had to brake sharply. Before I could chide him about Safety, he was gone. Then I saw what had grabbed his attention:
(Ever since the Beasts Occupied Wall Street, Burlie has been given to "Occupying" anything he doesn't like. He used to just punch people.)
He climbed atop the sign...
...and raged:![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHpy_06Cc1fZxmcJkJtbVwYV7Ie1Va4A7qVA3bSdjlpMn5VtymyfzR84VzZ26VEvKL-StHtMIJdkQg9jhAC3Z8Kx3ohaqvGawW_U3oNwvQuFXzLSotgrnM0qe3QgnZ4VrxBSdB7O8jiayp/s400/P1180672_2_2recomp2+-+Version+2+_Snapseed.jpg)
"Monsters have Rights!
They are Living Beings!
Just like us Beasts!
Just like you Giants!"
[By "Giants," he of course meant us humans.]
"They can't be SOLD, like things!"
He went on, quite eloquently, about "Giants" enslaving and selling all manner of Beasts and Beings--even Giants enslaving other Giants.
I NEVER would have gotten him away if I hadn't told him he had misunderstood the sign...
...that it was the MONSTERS
who were doing the selling.
who were doing the selling.
That cheered him up.

You may think he is a Monster--
Though he's not, he doesn't mind.
Beasts know we're all united.
They await true Human Kind.

And we were back on the road.

ReplyDeleteAhem. Burlie is unaware of a Certain Transaction at the Jennifer Russell Studio: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/51745590
ReplyDeleteBut of course, he was not SOLD. (Never!) This was more a matter of paying his passage --from the Enchanted Emerald Isle.
