lagilman....Early in the morning, deep inside the building, rising through the grates, came the terrible sound. *Ka-Thump!Ka-thump!Ka-thud!*
"Momma Two Legs," Boomer cried, his tail fluffed and his whiskers worried. "What is it? Will it eat me? Should I attack?"
"Silly Boomer," Momma Two Legs said. "It's nothing to fear, merely the dragon that sleeps within the building, awakening with a bump and a stir."
"But will it eat me," Boomer worried, for he was a boy of small and focused brain.
"It will not eat you," Momma Two Legs said. "It has no interest in cats, but eats dogs instead. That is why we have none in the building."
Somewhere there's a story in that. *pokes brain* Let's get to that soonish, shall we? *brain pokes back* As soon as you finish all the stuff you've already promised people, sure, we'll hop right on that. Sheesh. Have some more coffee, Gilman, and get to work.
