An almost origin...
Bein’ a street-sweeper for goin’ on 50 years in the Big Banana, I’ve seen most things a human can see - been hit by quite a few of ‘em too. I’ve been attacked by dinosaurs, aliens, ghosts, heck! even my own beard tried to kill me once. But the darndest thing I ever saw though was just a few days ago…It was a Monday so I was in Mangatown, scrapin’ up sumthin’ awful of the road - Looked like that fancy-pants Lair Legion had had a spot of bother around here, the rats had yet to return to the alleys, it’d been so bad - when my shovel started to speak, it said “Hello Francis,” in this weird spooky kinda voice that went in one ear and outta the other. Well, if I didn’t almost swallow my own tongue again! I thought I'd bumped my noggin and gone crazy or sumthin' but then it spoke to me again! It said, “Francis, I know you’ve been working very hard for so very long…Wouldn’t you like to have control over everything you see? To be able to crush all those who oppose you? At whim, to be able to have anything you wanted?"
I thought about this a second. “I reckon it’d be nice to have a new pair of boots, these old ones are startin’ to wear thin at the back and when it rains I can hear an ungodly noise.”
It was right about that time that my shovel started to get mad. “Boots?!? I’m offering you the world!”
I thought about the world fer a second. “Can’t I just have the boots? Nuthin’ fancy mind you…You know the types that skulk around Hell’s Kitchen…” My shovel started to talk again but I put a hush to it sayin’ “Why would I want the world anyways? Besides, this place needs somebody like me to clean it.” My shovel didn’t reply and I went back to scrapin’ the road.
Never did get my boots.
