开河期

开 = 一 + 廾 : A bottle opener. Karl Marx is sitting in front of the airplane, begging for money. He's playing a flute and has his bottle opener ready for the next beer, but unfortunately, he'll be carried away, his hands cuffed, soon.

河 = 可 + 氵 : A river has flooded the elevator, and in the kitchen, Hamlet is floating on a bed of nails. He found a water bottle to put upside down on the nails, so he has to balance on the bottle in order to not have to sit directly on the nails. It is quite difficult to do on a rocking makeshift raft.

期 = 其 + 月 : Recently the Queen of Hearts (qi) has become an astronomer. In front of the space station (Ø1) she sits on top of a watchtower (其) and watches the moon (月). From the moon's movement around the tower she wants to calculate its period and phase (期). She didn't consider though that not only the moon is orbiting around her, she is also orbiting the moon.
