About Knobbling by Buzz Hummer

Buzz Hummer sends two gentlemen down a mysterious corridor where absurd questions, missing records, and troubling consequences transform a simple nightcap.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Buzz Hummer invites readers into an eccentric world of mystery, absurdity, and mounting unease in About Knobbling, a comic and unconventional tale following two gentlemen whose quiet evening takes an unexpected turn. Bonis has stopped at his gentlemen's club for a nightcap when he encounters his excitable friend Smythers, who is preoccupied by an apparently intractable problem. Smythers describes the difficulty as something that is "knobbling" at him, and what initially appears to be another of his dramatic complaints soon becomes considerably more serious when he attempts to enlist Bonis in finding a solution.

Before Bonis can fully understand what his friend wants from him, the pair are interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious figure. They are escorted through an unfamiliar corridor and eventually brought before the Patron, an enigmatic individual who seems to possess an unsettling amount of information about them. The Patron claims that Smythers' problem can indeed be solved, but his records are incomplete, and the appropriate remedy cannot be determined until Smythers and Bonis provide the missing information, setting the two men on a peculiar assignment whose logic becomes increasingly difficult to predict.

Their efforts to satisfy the Patron's requirements are largely supervised by his assistant, Proctor, whose sinister presence adds a darker edge to the unfolding absurdity. Questions and demands that appear irrelevant can prove unexpectedly important, and failure to provide the required information carries consequences. About Knobbling builds its mystery around the clash between seemingly nonsensical procedures and the disturbing seriousness with which they are enforced.

As Smythers and Bonis work through the Patron's strange process, the search for missing data becomes an adventure governed by rules neither man fully understands and cannot safely ignore. The story offers readers a blend of comic dialogue, surreal mystery, and escalating tension, contrasting Smythers' theatrical personality with Bonis' growing concern as circumstances become stranger with every development.

Buzz Hummer builds About Knobbling around a deliberately unusual central mystery: what exactly does it mean to be knobbling, and can Smythers ever escape it? Through mysterious corridors, questionable records, eccentric personalities, and increasingly consequential demands, the story keeps its answer just beyond immediate reach, turning bureaucracy, incomplete information, and an undefined personal predicament into the foundations of an offbeat adventure where absurdity and menace repeatedly overlap.
