“Pillowslip!” showed the fellow in the green T-shirt with the capitol letter B on it. Stupid game, Kill-the-kid-with-a-monkey. Which involves buying several small faces at discount price and whacking anyone who looks like the might be in ownership of a monkey. The place in which this game is played (and I am in, oh reader) is Smigle. Smigle is not a town nor a country but the only world besides us (earth) that has not discovered the sentient universe around it. Now to our character, bill smith(very original name) who is being beaten with discount faces, bill is an average Smiglian in that he works his rear off for the better part of a day so his friends are impressed.
Faces are obviously used for plastic surgery most of the time and are sold at Wickenbaster’s for only four yellow squares of carpet (the currency of Smigle). Wickenbaster’s is most like are (earth’s) Walgreens.
