Peepers' Pitt--Snowy Plain

Humphrey doesn't like the "W" word!

Peepers' Pitt--New Crew Askew pt. 2 of 20: “Snowy Plain”
Humphrey the Hunchback Hobo shivered. He opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by whiteness. It was not the white light that had come from the giant apparition of Mr. Peepers back in the city however. No, this whiteness was cold, wet, and flaky. Humphrey was surrounded by…snow! He leapt to his feet, moving more quickly that he ever does. Humphrey knew that snow was not a good thing since he had slept out in such conditions many times before as a homeless man back on his own world. He wanted shelter, but there was none to be found in any direction! There was not a single structure or tree anywhere! Humphrey wondered how such a thing was possible. Then, he heard the crunching sound of footsteps on the snow behind him.

Humphrey turned to see Boris, the Russian solider, walking towards him. He stopped a few feet away from Humphrey, and put his hands on his hips. It appeared that the cold had no effect on him!

“Pree veet, Comrade! Is it not beautiful weather we are having?”

Humphrey glanced up at the tall Russian from his hunched over stance.
“Was w’ong with you? I’s a cold! It FREEZIN’ out here, man! We’s gots ta find shelter!”

Boris smiled. “Nonsense! No shelter is needed for one such as I! We shall go and find work!”

At the sound of the word, “work,” Humphrey flipped out! “WHAT?!? ARE YOU CRAZY, MAN? NO NO NO! I’s not w-w…do anything!”

Mr. Peepers, invisible to the pair, floated nearby. He liked what he was seeing. Maybe Humphrey would finally do something interesting!
