Kurt and the Dig by Asphalt Bastard
It never really occured to Kurt to tell anyone. He was afraid.
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAR!
He didn't know what to do. He turned to his left: LEFT. He turn
to his right: RIGHT. He looked up: UP. He looked down: AHA!
He decided to tunnel his way out of this BAD situation. He looked in
his pockets for something to dig with. He was in luck: He had one
of those 'digging' things. Good for digging. GOOD FOR KURT! He
started to dig. Dig. Dig. Digdigdigdigdigdig. DiG. dIg.
Digdigdig. He dug. If he were to be interviewed for a newspaper,
the headline would read "KURT DUG." Or, maybe "KURT HAS DUG."
The term 'dig' was redefined on this day. Kurt dug, and dug, and
dug. He did not stop. He was in his thirteenth hour of digging.
Straight. No breaks. No food. No water. No NOTHIN'.
The digging of the tunnel, going down. Down. Down.
Deeper into the ground. Ground. Ground.
Round. Round. Round.
Rabbit.
Digging: Man's Battle with Earth.
Digging became fun a long time ago. You should dig, too.
After the twentieth consecutive hour of digging, Kurt spoke.
It wouldn't have been that big of a deal, except, WHAT Kurt said
was most probably the single most beautiful phrase ever spoken by
man. As the sky darkened, and the air cooled, Kurt raised his head
and said:
"Fucking digging hurts my bottom."
The heavens cried, the seas turned to blood, the sky turned to ice.
As Kurt lowered his head, he heard a ruffling sound only a few
yards away. He raised his head slowly, turned around, and in front
of him stood the almighty Son of God, clothed in a loincloth, on
his head lay a crown of thorns. He looked at Kurt straight in the
eye, and softly stretched out his arm. Kurt was confused. Christ
then smiled at Kurt, and opened his hand. In it he beheld a small
WetNap from those Fork thingy packages from Kentucky Fried
chicken. He handed it to Kurt, and said, "Here. I have one
already."
