hideous herbert: (chapter 4)

chapters in hideous herbert take the form of mini origami-envelopes.
the act of opening an envelop reveals it's narrative

"gargle... gargle..."
Without his many arms, Herbert slipped into a nearby
pond and was unable to paddle away.
Falling rainwater slowly filled his lungs and without a soul in sight
he died absolutely alone.
he was forgotten immediately and was completely unmissed by the world.
End.

hideous herbert: (chapter 3)

chapters in hideous herbert take the form of mini origami-envelopes.
the act of opening an envelop reveals it's narrative
"Sammy! you found me! help I want to go home."
"I'm sorry Herbert, but I can't help. I'm not real."
"I don't like this game Sammy. Just come help me."
"Even the smallest little boy is still much larger than the biggest worm."
"I'm not a worm! I'm a caterpillar and one day I'm going to be a beautiful butterfly!"
"No Herbert, you're not. Your body is the mutated byproduct of pollutants and your
mental stability has been compromised from a lifetime of living under a hallucinogenic
mushroom. You're never going to be a butterfly and you're not even a proper worm."
"But my entire life I've wanted to fly!"
"If you ask me: that bird was doing you a favor."

“It hurts, it hurts!

That bird took my arm, then spat it back out!

I want to go home to my mushroom,

But I’m too scared to leave this rock…

If only I were a butterfly then everything

Would be so much better…

I hate myself…”
