B. is Dying Episode 9

“Don’t crap in that CREEK! Don’t grow your farm six hundred miles wide! It’s the future NOW, but 100,000 years ago this place was HOLY! B. is DYING and its PEOPLE—these PROTO-PEOPLE—who are killing him!”

B is lying on his back on the ground as a caveman approaches him with a spear. B shouts, “I have a VISION!”

B is floating in a water along with a manatee, fish, a turtle, and flowing grasses. He says, “I am floating through pristine springs, clear bubbling water full of manatees, eel grass, and six types of TURTLES!”

He continues, “The grasses carry me and are carried by the current, the current carried by the rains, the rains guided by Leto, Neptune, and the river gods and goddesses!”

B surfaces for air, shouting, “I am DYING!”

Still above water, B is holding a manatee in his arms as two cavemen ready their spears. He shouts, “Dying is the best activity for a man! But it’s death for a manatee, you MONSTERS!”

B dives back in the water, followed by spears thrown at him. He says, “These manatees should become mankind, you BEASTS!”
