“Wampum Physics,” Episode 4

An exhausted, overworked Nicki can’t sleep. Across the hall, Gneeecey and his canine-humanoid buddy Sooperflea are rehearsing for a big concert. Gneeecey’s violin shatters glass and teeth, and Sooperflea is tone-deaf and rhythmically challenged. 

The “music” stops abruptly when Gneeecey screams that Mister Tree outside is stalking him, watching his every move, laughing and coughing, too!

Redheaded Broken-nose Mark calls to intimidate Gneeecey.

Sooperflea asks Gneeecey how he knows the tree’s really a tree. If it coughs and nobody’s around to hear it cough, is it really coughing? What if it can be either a wave or particle, depending on whether or not it’s being observed?

Gneeecey grins. “Wampum physics?” 

At 4:30 a.m., Gneeecey declares that if he doesn’t think of Sooperflea, he won’t exist. 

Sooperflea heads for the door and seconds later howls to be let back in. “Tree is movin’!” he shouts. “Dancin’—wit’ a buncha floatin’ eyeballs!”

Gneeecey dives under the kitchen table. Nicki sprints to the door and pulls in a catatonic Sooperflea. 

The following morning, a dog-tired Nicki meets Gneeecey outside. He “gives” her the old wreck of a car that mouse-humanoid Altitude used for Gneeezle’s deliveries. Gneeecey states that the traffic court “just regurgitated Altitude’s license.”

Gneeecey informs Nicki that he’ll deduct a little from her paycheck every week to pay it off. Nicki replies that then it’s not really a gift, plus she only gets paid every two weeks. Gneeecey tells her not to brush a gift horse’s teeth, explaining she’ll pay it off twice as fast.
