Peepers Pitt--White Cloth on the Snowy Plain

Humphrey the Hunchback Hobo!

Peepers’ Pitt--New Crew Askew pt. 18 of 20: “White Cloth on the Snowy Plain”

Boris the Russian solider rode the bicycle around in circles on the snowy plain where he and Humphrey, the Hunchback Hobo, had been placed by Mr. Peepers.  Peepers had grown tired of Humphrey’s refusal to interact with Boris, and placed a bicycle there for them to fight over!  After a tug-of-war, Boris won!

Humphrey gathered himself off the snowy ground and began to wobble in the direction of Boris.  The solider was so concerned with “exercising his legs” that he wasn’t trying to get anywhere with the bicycle.  He just rode around in circles, laughing as he went!  Humphrey vowed to get the bicycle back, and use it for something worthwhile…getting the hell out of there!

Humphrey would stop in his tracks however, as he looked off into the distance and saw something!  It appeared that the horizon was moving at first, but closer observation revealed that it actually was a giant stretch of white cloth that billowed through the air.  Humphrey gasped when he realized it was moving quickly towards them!  He tried to yell out and warn Boris, who was much closer, but it was too late!  The cloth enveloped him, and he was gone!  Humphrey turned to run away, but he too was caught up in the cloth, vanishing into thin air!
