The Sanity of Professor R. J. Basil
Part Three
The room vibrated with the buzzing. The buzzing was enough
to drive anyone mad. But not Basil. Never Basil. Try and tell
him otherwise. You can't. Or you won't. Either will sufice. Basil
knows it, too. The erratic buzz continued. Where did it start?
And more importanty, where does it stop? Basil looked to find
the answer. He looked all under and aroung the wolves, but they
couldnt say where. This made Basil angry, and he expressed it
so as to make all the dwarves fall from their perches, overlooking
the ambivalient crevass. The dwarves were a frightful few; Basil
was never happy with them, and never mourned their loss. But
they were a loss nonetheless, and so they must be counted. One.
Two. Three. The Dwarves ascended their way. Four. Five. Six.
Buzzing on their way. Seven. Eight. Nine. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Basil
stopped, and stared, as he could hardly believe what his eyes
portrayed to him. Blink. He looked again. Once more it looked
back at him, with iluminating oval orange eyes, glaring back
with razor sharp fingers, and toes like ice pics. What ever could
this.....thing....want with anyone, or anything? Basil asked
it, "Such an abnormality of creation, who doth thou seekith,
and may I be of assistance?" Such a well played card by
Basil, so thought out and manipulated, and executed beyond perfection,
was met only by the whip-bang og the creature as it lurched forward
is snappy reply, "Do what thou will" Basil was dumbfounded.
What could he say or do that could outmatch such an obvious extreme
of intelectual ability? He would have collapsed, had not the
dwarves been there to remind him of his intention, so he decided
to forget the horrid beast and continue his counting, for it
was almost sunrise beyond the Hill of Obsolecense.
