The Under Review - Issue 4 | Summer 2021

“Well, Paul, I don’t know about you, but I saw a vision of me taking the same bite out of my dying
cat over and over, stretching out into eternity.”
“That’s a real humdinger of a vision, Alan.”
“How about you, Paul? What did the visions show you?”
“Well, Alan, I was ushered to the very furthest shore of sanity by an unfathomable monstrosity
who showed me how the universe was born from nothing and how it craves to return to nothing. It craves
for that and only one other thing.”
“What’s that, Paul?”
“Jormundsen’s Franks. Got a hankerin’ for a frank? Grab a Jormundsen’s.”
“Looks like we have some commotion down on the field. The players have returned to their feet
and are embracing each other, as if they have overcome their petty differences and have reached a mutual
understanding of not only themselves, but of each other.”
“You love to see it, folks. You really do.”
“The ball is now glowing. How would you describe that color, Paul?”
“I can’t rightly say I’ve ever seen a color like that. Just another thing about this that defies all
logic, Alan. It’s glowing brighter and brighter and it… is… outta here! Straight out of this plane of existence.
Where it went, who’s to say, folks. All I can tell you is, this announcer is left with more questions than he
came here with.”
“And it looks like the ruling on the field is a ground rule double, which seems fair to me.”
“Hard to argue with that call, Alan.”
“So with Potemkin on second, up to bat is Alexei Sutter. Now Carmichael, historically, has had
trouble using that slider with left-handed batters.”
“And that’s a real blindspot, Alan. A walk at this point could put the Cobras in scoring position to
take the lead.”
