Chapter 9. Henry Bemis Stops at Willoughby
It was many days after Henry Bemis came to the crossroads in the middle of nowhere. He had slept for a while and dreamed about the places he could go to. Eventually, he had chosen the town of Willoughby because it was the one place where something terrible wasn't happening or going to happen…but how did Henry really know this? He didn't. So he followed the long, dirt road towards Willoughby!
"Wow. This is such a nice road!" Henry said to himself as he walked along. Nice blue streams and even nicer green grass surrounded the road. It was so nice that Henry stopped to eat all the grass that he wanted. Then accidents happened in the dark. Well, not really. After Henry had eaten all the 'grass' he wanted, he moved on down the road.
The load was long and lead past several more streams and pleasant meadows. It was so beautiful.
But something went terribly wrong.
Henry came to a field that was littered with trash! Pop cans, old tires, severed heads, mannequins, rundown cars, lamps, pogo sticks, calendars, milk jugs, various guns, newspapers, CD cases, shoes, Mardi Gras masks, porn magazines, and bottles of lotion.
Standing in the center of this field was a lone Indian chief.
Henry watched in disbelief as the Indian chief cried a single tear. Then Henry Bemis blinked and the Indian was gone. So was the field covered with trash.
"What the what?" Henry shook his head. He stopped there and started looking through his books, trying to find an explanation for this strange phenomenon. He couldn't find any, though so Henry Bemis moved on down the road.
Eventually it was nightfall. The sun went down and Henry was all alone. That was okay because he had his books. As he wandered, alone and at night, Henry picked up a magazine that had gone tumbleweed style on everybody's asses and blown across the road.
The main article's title read World Stabilization Crumbles, God Passes Away and Henry Bemis is the ONLY SURVIVOR: What is our planet coming to? Henry didn't read the article because it was scary for some reason.
After a bit, Henry finally came to a sign saying "Welcome to Willoughby, USA" that pointed to a small, very old town.
"I bet this town is older than me!" Henry looked around. There was a big, green park with all the 'grass' you could eat. There were shops and houses and a library.
But something went terribly wrong.
Wait…no! Nothing went terribly wrong! The library had a bunch of books Henry had never, ever seen before!
"How amazing is that? This place is perfect. Nothing is blown up, there's plenty of grass and books galore!" Henry Bemis sat down to read.
But something was about to go terribly wrong.
