And so on and so forth …..
“I’m sorry for the delay sir.”
“Do you have it?”
“I do.”
The parchment was lain on the table, the dirty boy backed away and stood in silence. The man unrolled the sheet, his eyes scanning it’s surface and it’s knowledge passed into him.
“May I ask what it says sir?”
“You may ask. It’s an old Star Trek joke ….. never mind. There’s a few passages but the one that most concerns us is this. It says simply ‘Drink of my Blood. Eat of my Flesh. Scratch of my Fleas.’ It is titled the ‘Hobo Trinity’”
“Sir? What does it mean?”
“According to the passage that follows Jebus and the Technicolor Winter Coats partook in a ….. well …. a gathering. The feast of the seven dumpsters.”
“That piece of paper speaks of the …. last diving?”
“It does. Before every rise there has to be a fall. Jebus knew this and gathered his most staunch followers and they feasted upon the leftovers of the world. Every bite pained him so, he fed to pass along nourishment to all his followers, though it slowly ate him away he continued until he vanished in thin air. His people never starved. They have awaited his return ever since.”
“I hate to be so obtuse sir but, I still don’t understand, what does it mean?”
“It means the time has come. Gather the six Elders. Billy Bob Bart, Hold the Pickles, Double Beef, Cheese is Extra, Ask for Condiments and Joe. We’re bringing it back, so he will come”
“It?”
“Indeed. He’s come, at the turn of the tide, to save us all. Damn the rich, damn them to hell! Now go and get them!”
The boy ran out of the room and you could hear his footsteps fade into the background. The old man’s face, carved with lines of experience and sorrow and joy scanned the document again.
“I hope they know what to do. And I hope they know how to control …… “It”"
