Issue 02-19 Episode 18

Morky and his dogs are stuck in the year 2044, and he doesn’t know how they got there. The big question on Morky’s mind is; how in the world did they all show up together in the same place? The only think he could think of was that Zaza opened up a portal that sucked them all in. As he looks at his dogs with their big smiles, he says to them, “Thank goodness you boys are here with me! You’ve been with me through thick and thin, and I love ya!”
A knocking at the door breaks up the tender moment between Morky and his dogs, which makes him feel disgruntled.. “Ah fer crying out loud! Who can that be?” He mumbles and opens the door to find no one else but the hotel owner, Miss Carny Mellons standing there, holding a gift basket and wearing the most alluring red dress in her wardrobe. “Good evening Morky, I just thought I’d bring ya some complimentary coffees, teas, biscuits and spreads for you to enjoy during your stay…. And… If there’s anything I can do to make your stay even more enjoyable, well, you know where you can find me.” She follows up with a slight grin.
Morky replies, “Hint well taken Ms Carnegie but like I told ya before, I’m on a mission and need to stay focused.”
“You got a hearing problem or something? My name is Carny, not Carnegie! You gotta be really nuts or be up to no good to refuse a woman like me, ya know.” She then spins around so fast that her hair hits Morky in the face and she walks away back down the hallway.
As Morky closes the door to his room he suspects that she has no idea that he’s a time traveller, so with that in mind, he decides to learn all about whats happening in 2044 and breaks out his laptop (which is now more than 20 years old because of the time difference). As he activates his laptop, it powers up for 30 seconds and then shuts off. The battery is dead, and as Morky looks for a power outlet he notices that there isn’t a single one in his room. He yells out in frustration, “As if there’s no effin’ power outlets in this room! How am I supposed to use my devices if I they can’t be charged??”
Another knock hammered at the door. Morky, already at his wit’s end, answered in a huff, “What?!” His bad mood practically radiating off him. “I thought I told ya that I can’t be bothered with nonsense!” As Morky flung open the door he’s greeted by a short, buck toothed nervous looking fella, wearing horn rimmed glasses with pop bottle lenses that are held together with masking tape. “Hi, my name is Chadwick, I actually live across the hall and heard you yelling about not having any power outlets in your room, maybe I can help you.”
