Endtown by Aaron Neathery for October 12, 2015

More and more, I like Kirbee.

A sensible action to do. Holly Will Freak Out.

Holly is a little biased. And she don t like Kirbee from the start.Maybe we will see now how good a freaked mouse can dig holes in the powder sand.

Can we bury Holly next?

“I” has Holly.If Wally wants her back, he better find her shoes right now.

When you bury them, they almost never give you any more trouble…

Kirby did something smart? Maybe this will snap Holly out of her funk.

If not for Kirbee, Holly would be dead right now. Kirbee entered the darkness specifically to find Molly(…er, Holly). Once she found Holly, Kirbee had to climb a shaft (ahead of a fire) while carrying Holly,Chic, and Irving on a rope. Then, she helped Holly get to where Wally was (putting aside her concern for her own kind to do so), AND, Kirbee guided them out of Unity. Kirbee is quite capable of “doing something right”.

It should also be noted that Kirbee, as a “hitchhiker”, is carrying most of the supplies and has been helping to keep the group safe.To be fair, Holly is way too unhinged at the moment to think straight and that is not her fault.

That’s okay Holly (I want to die) Hollister…..just hang around for the Topsiders to come back…..they will find Clive for you. You can join Clive if you want. I am sure they have a few openings.First Air Scouts, Mutts, and next will be ground troops. When tech fails to find it bring in the old Mark I’s

Notice how in panel 4 Chic is hiding behind Kirbee. Easy to see who he relates to, she looks like his mother.

The acid test of Holly’s obsession with Clive: Will she be willing to find where ’he’s’ buried and dig him up herself or will she make the others find him and dig him up? I can understand what she’s been through with the Milk Trial and their side trip to Unity, but Holly is at a crossroads now, and the decision is up to her to leave Clive and go on traveling or stay and put herself as well as the others in great danger.

Rabid Holly, hasn’t had her rabies shot yet. Burying Clive is the next best thing. Have fun finding it Holly, I think by now the group knows you’re a Bat crap insane bee to the itch and you are best avoided or left behind for the Mutts to find.Holly’s jealousy of Kirbee and the fact that she would not be alive if it wasn’t for Kirbee should be her first thought, if she was a rational being.But we are dealing with someone who is not rational..Are we?I have to wonder though, do Mice get PMS?

Excuse me, but WHO would be dead??

I don’t like Holly any more! She is bordering on schism herself. Please let her return to sanity.

What if the rider was Holly, the invaders represent “I”/Topsiders, and the balloon was Holly’s mind?Wally may be very close to losing her.

“I”: You’ll even be the one pulling the trigger."

“I”: Hi Holly. You lost the baby, eh. So, uh, how’s Clive?"

Not a problem. All we have to do is re-trace Kirbee’s steps… in the powdered sand……Problem…

As much as I like Holly, I’m really hoping Kirbee gives her a slap to bring her around <_<If not her, then Wally. Someone needs to make her see sense.

.. thus proving you don’t have to be an ostrich to bury your head in the sand.

Oh this is painful to watch going more deeply insane. She is totally lost it. several days ago. Almost want to give her a merciful death.I still think Chik took Clive, he looks terrified, I think Kirbee is protecting him because he is a little kid. How can they get away from Jims madness? It is obviosly caught Holly. I never have figured out him becoming god. That sounds like ravings of a mad man.I really didn’t know what was meant by losing their shoes.Can someone tell me what that means?

Aaron8-((((((

I best she tells Holly she buried him next to a flat piece of sand. That should narrow it down.

Good Answer.

Is Clive beginning to drive Holly even further insane?Holly seemed to be starting to recover during her time in the waste and even while she was in Unity, she seemed to be reasonably focused on the important things like protecting Chic and getting back to Wally. She didn’t seem to unravel until they found Clive in the bag with the other supplies. I think losing Clive might be the best thing for Holly. Maybe this will force her to consider why the plasticized brain was so important to her and possibly face the things that happened when she lost the baby.

Night…..welcome to the Apocalypse.That is a real situation.Back in the 50’s and 60’s when atomics abounded those were the fears. We could survive the blast, even find some place to limit our radiation exposure but for how long.Refer to On the Beach. My own plan was to survive the blast then crawl out to see that bad boy climb the sky. Check my exposure, go till things got bad, then shoot myself.Check out Call of Duty Modern Warfare. An event occurs where you go back to rescue a downed pilot. You get caught in the atomic blast crashing your chopper. Crawl out and wander around….its the final scene for your character…..look about and you will see the cloud rising….walk over to the playground and you can see the shadows of children burnt into the wall…..what is even scarier is you can hear their laughter. You die from the radiation as it cooks you inside out.

I’m feeling so much better since I gave up hope..
