A Review · From: MUUERO
Kingdom Rises, Kingdom Crumples Into the Wastepaper Basket
Pete briefly reigns as tycoon atop the MUUERO stack before his entire paper empire is swept up and binned by an indifferent human, rendering the whole affair a sham.
My human, in a fit of what I can only describe as profound financial delusion, has acquired a large stack of printed paper rectangles. They are meant to mimic the 'money' used to procure my wet food, but these are blatant forgeries, smelling faintly of ink and disappointment rather than salmon. While the sheer quantity—one hundred individual slips—presents a tantalizing opportunity for widespread, systematic shredding or perhaps the construction of a magnificent protest-fort, I suspect their primary function is to be yet another monument to human foolishness. The 'durable' paper might offer a satisfying tear, but I remain skeptical that this pile of lies can hold my attention longer than a well-napped-in sunbeam.
It began when the human carelessly dropped the stack on the living room rug. A cascade of green and white, settling like a strange, rectangular snowfall. I approached with the caution befitting such an anomaly. A single, tentative paw-pat sent one of the bills skittering across the hardwood. It was light, flimsy, yet held its shape. This was not just paper; this was a foundation. I nudged the pile with my nose, then, with a burst of regal inspiration, I leaped atop it.
From my new perch, barely an inch off the ground, the world looked different. I was no longer merely Pete, resident of this well-appointed prison. I was a king. A mogul. A captain of industry. The sofa became my imposing mountain retreat, the water bowl my private, pristine lake. The dust bunnies cowering under the armchair were my terrified subjects. I was Pete the Powerful, and this pile of crisp, official-looking paper was my throne and my treasury. All that I surveyed was mine.
I spent the afternoon lost in this grand delusion. The human walked past, and I regarded her not as my caretaker, but as my staff, a bipedal servant whose sole purpose was to facilitate my comfort and bring me offerings of pâté. When the dog trotted by, I stared him down with the cold, unblinking gaze of a ruthless tycoon warding off a corporate takeover. I was untouchable, a dragon guarding his hoard. The rustle of the thick paper beneath me was the sound of my own immense power.
The end of my reign was as swift as it was unjust. My human, the traitorous staff member, returned with a small dustpan. With a few indifferent sweeps, she gathered my entire fortune, my symbol of status, my very kingdom. She crumpled the whole $10,000 stack into a ball and tossed it into the wastepaper basket. I was left on the bare rug, a dethroned monarch, my empire reduced to garbage. The entire affair was a pointless exercise. The paper wasn't even satisfyingly shreddable. A complete and utter sham.
