SHORT SHMOORIES

Kevin and The Shmoo A long time ago there reigned a mysterious tycoon known simply as "The Kevin." Having grown up in opulent wealth but devoid of any loving affection, The Kevin found no pleasure in anything other than amassing his own wealth and power. Over time The Kevin's empire began to stretch through all the surrounding lands and into almost every industrial venture one could name. It seemed as though soon he would rule the world as their dependence upon him grew. But a threat to his empires emerged from an unlikely source, magical little creatures known as the Shmoos. The Shmoos had always lived cut off from the world inside the deep slopes of the Valley of Shmoon. Intelligent, loving and caring. These creatures lived only to make the live's of others better. Upon meeting humans for the first time, they were elated at all they could do for them. Able to shift shapes, reproduce asexually, and produce endless amounts of milk eggs and meat, the Shmoos were able to spread love, joy, and meet all the needs of the humans who had one. But these gentle creatures, with their boundless generosity, and bottomless love began to undermine The Kevin's power. As his industries became obsolete and his profits began to dwindle, The Kevin realized Shmoos were a threat to all he held dear. Enraged by this perceived affront to his supremacy, The Kevin unleashed his wrath upon the Shmoos. After a campaign touting them as the future downfall of society, rather than its saviors, The Kevin rallied his forces and set upon the great Shmooicide, destroying every Shmoo that they could find. But in this blind pursuit of wealth and power, The Kevin began to unleash evil forces far beyond his , or anyones, comprehension. As the hordes began to declare victory and head home, The Kevin's obsessive need to eradicate the Shmoos pushed him on, combing and re checking every inch of the surrounding lands. Just when he was satisfied that he had rid the world of the Shmoos, he heard a rustling in the distance. Off in the woods outside the valley of Shmoon, was one final Shmoo. The one we now know as The Shmoo. The Kevin's rage that one of these Shmoos had evaded him was one like no other in the universe. To him, the power and wealth this one Shmoo threatened were his right! As he ran up on The Shmoo weapon drawn his fury was so great that it began to actually affect the matter and energy around him, as his rage and greed itself began to emanate as the dark energy we now know as Fooples. Hearing The Kevin's battle cries approaching The Shmoo turned around and saw the rage and hatred coming at him for the first time. Having never witnessed or experienced emotions such as these himself, The Shmoo felt a compassion and love like he never had before. This person clearly needed help and love and the Shmoo couldn't wait to give it to him. It was a feeling so strong that he also began to emanate his own positive energy, the force we now know as Shmooples. But The Kevin didn't want love. Swinging his weapon, his Fooples became stronger and stronger as the blade neared The Shmoo. The Shmoo, not knowing what a weapon was, or understanding murderous intent, saw the opportunity to give his new friend the hug which he so desperately needed. His Shmooples also increasing by the inch. But before the blade could reach The Shmoos head to strike him down, the incredible amount of Fooples and Shmooples fighting each other began to twist time and space itself. Splitting dimensions and matter alike. And all of a sudden The Shmoo was nowhere. And yet he was everywhere. He could see where he had been, he could see The Kevins rise to power, he could see you reading this now. He had transcended space and time and become omnipotent. But The Shmoo was not the only one. The Kevin too had gone through the transformation. And while Shmoo was in awe at the closeness he now felt with all of existence, The Kevin saw his newfound omnipotence as a new way to exert his power and control. Realizing he could now transmit his Fooples to any living being in existence, The Kevin began to try and force them into anyone and anything he could. Finding it easiest to infect those who were already performing lower vibrational activities such as mistreating others or being greedy, or traits which the Fooples themselves only promoted. The Kevin relished the idea of spreading his influence through all of existence. Sensing this, The Shmoo knew he had to do something. In his omnipotency he could see that all living things were like a vessel, only able to hold so many Shmooples and Fooples at the same time. If he could transmit his shmooples the way The Kevin was transmitting his Fooples maybe he could fill these vessels with positive energy and happiness rather than the negativity The Kevin was forcing into everything. But The Shmoo had a problem. Just as The Kevins influence only worked over those who were operating on lower vibrations, his positive energy could only get into those operating on higher vibrational levels. It became clear that it was going to come down to the choices of the vessels themselves. Luckily, the Shmooples themselves made people happier, more generous, and more caring. Meaning as happiness and love spread so too could the Shmooples. The almost contagious qualities of Shmooples and Fooples would ultimately determine the winner of this epic battle. The Shmoo knew that if he could rid existence of Fooples by replacing them all with Shmooples, happiness,peace, love and prosperity would prevail. And without any power left for The Kevin to seek, The Shmoo hoped that that he would finally end his self serving madness and embrace the love and care he knew could blossom between them.
