	Under the old man's guidance, Albert and Mary created Carpy the Carpet Carp, the brand mascot. They named their business to "Rug Radicals!" They changed the rug pricing from "$9" to "$9.99." They advertised the economically sustainable method in which they repurposed old purses to become rugs. They changed the pricing from "$9.99" to "$9.99 ...and your soul." They hired pirate ninja hybrids (pirateborgs? Ninjaborgs? Nirateborgs?) to eliminate the competing rug businesses. Then they were smashed by a herd of nine headed man-eating sheep bears who wanted revenge for being hunted all their lives for their legendary wool-hair.

	Like a cyborg. Half human, half robot. Except not a cyborg. Instead of being half human and half robot, Mary was half city-dweller and half forest dweller. A forestborg. (Foreborg? Forg?) Mary's like, IDK, five years old? Also Albert was a forestborg. He was Mary's sister. We'll say he's also five. They lived in a medium-small hut-shackle-house just outside the city walls amidst a bunch of surrounding pine trees, but they didn't live past the official forest line. Forestborgs. Man, the word seems cooler with every time I say it. Albert and Mary's mother wasn't a forestborg, because she never went into town; instead, she made her two kids do all the menial labor that required traveling to town, because that's what kids are for. Their father wasn't a forestborg either. He never went to town, nor did he go to the forest, nor did he go anywhere at all. He just spent all day six feet under. Every day, Mary and Albert had to walk through the city gates to school. After walking through miles of semi-forest between their cabin and the city, navigating their way through the twisting city streets, and reaching the classrooms of the brightest scholarly minds in the kingdom, Albert and Mary would doodle on their papers and make paper airplanes. They used the same paper for both the doodling AND the paper airplanes, so the paper airplanes had little doodles on them! How cool is that? Now, thou art probably wondering "well, if they ~~half~~ to walk so far to get to the city to wast the time of the most intelligent scholarly minds in the kingdom, why don't they just live in the city instead of being forestborgs?" Good question. In fact, that's such a good question that if thou were actually in front of me I would give thou a "Thou Rockest!" sticker as a reward for asking such insightful and over analytic questions. But thou are not actually in front of me. Thou art reading this manuscript in some dusty library, watching thy hopes and dreams for a "Thou Rockest!" sticker fade before thy very eyes. The reason Albert and Mary live outside the city is because every evening after school they have to travel into the woods and hunt 9 headed man-eating sheep bears for the creatures' wool-hair so that they could give the wool-hair to their mother who would knit rugs. Yes, their mother was the most renowned rug maker in the city. Although she wasn't in the city. She was in the semi-forest outside of the city. The point is, people came far and wide to buy rugs from the famous "Mary and Albert's Mom's Rug Business!" After an especially prosperous winter of rug making, summer came around, and a blight spread among the rug bushes. The blight had short, stubby legs, so one would think that the blight wouldn't spread very far, right? Wrong. If I had given thou that "Thou Rockest!" sticker beforehand, I would be ripping it off thy tunic right now for thinking something so naive. It's ignorant people like thou who allowed for the spread of the blight. All it took was for a few strands of infected rug string to be installed in a flying carpet and the blight was quickly spread across the kingdom.		Like a cyborg. Half human, half robot.
