always one

(that last episode did not mention the presence of block of wood; he had been sat on).
always one, the man said, there’s always one. shook his head in disbelief and went away.

this one and others

we don’t want you to ruin this episode for us, said sponge.
nor any other, said breadroll, but this one in particular.
exactly, nor any other, said sponge.
but this one in particular, said breadroll, to make that clear.
highlight and earmark, said sponge. attach a memo. at least a post-it. and send an email, copy me in.
block of wood, however, the addressee of the repeatedly placed request not to ruin this episode — or indeed any other — did not get the message until much later; too late, as some argued.
other this and other episodes a morning breeze blew. nothing new. the description of sensations of nature puts a piece of prose in a more natural context.

one for all

we should not be so caught up with this sheepery, said sponge.
not at all, said block of wood. they watched breadroll talking to the sheep and seemingly having a great conversation. eventually breadroll offered the sheep a cigarette.
