“Do you know where you’re going?” Commensurion asked.
“Sure,”
Johnson answered. “It’s straight down
this road until you cross into Plunder
County . It’s the first road on the left after you
cross the county line.”
“Plunder County …” Commensurion repeated, dread
and anxiety hanging on each letter of his words like turd-shaped Christmas tree
ornaments.
“Oh, don’t
worry,” Johnson laughed. “It isn’t all
chicken houses and churches.”
“You’ve
been here before?”
“Not to Mr.
Scientist’s place, but to Plunder
County .” As Johnson said this Commensurion saw the
sign reading, “Welcome to Plunder
County , home of the
Religious Rooster Festival.”
