eddie smith 2 walked slowly up the avenue.

it was a nice day.

hhe had enjoyed his downtime with charles ashley and joey but now it was back to serious business

he wondered what had happened to eddie smith 1.

the poor little guy, he hoped it would turn out all right for him.

fh eddie smith 2 was just an ordinary guy, but he wore many hats and lived a thousand lives.

he was the emperor of the universe, also known as the black prince.

he was many other things as well, too numerous to mention.

now he approached the universal building, also known as the serious business building.

eddie smith 3, the security guard on duty at the front door, greeted hin cordially.

a nice day, mr prince, eddie smith 3 announced in a booming yet modulated voice.


yes it is, eddie smith 2 agreed with a smile. it rained a bit earlier as i recall, but now it is quite pleasant and promises to remain so.

eddie smith 2 allowed his brain and essence to be scanned, even though eddie smith 3 knew who he was.

as emperor of the universe, eddie believed that strict rules should be followed, by the emperor such as himself, or by humble security guards such as eddie smith 3.

the scan being completed, eddie smith 2 the black prince entered the building and took his private elevator up to this office on the 99th floor.

the building held 100 floors.

he entered his office and prepared to get down to business.

before he did, he wondered again what had had transpired with eddie smith 1.

and he wondered how the giants were doing in their game with the niners.

he had wanted to play quarterback for the niners, but even the black prince could not be everywhere at once.

just a couple of quick peeks, he told himself, before i get down to the universe’s business.

he switched on to find out.
