Wearing his field attire, #Words lowered himself from a window. He turned & found the Baron standing just behind him.
"Going somewhere, Your Majesty?" the Baron asked.

My sister's door was ajar when I stumbled out of my bedroom at two in the morning. I went into the bathroom, relieved myself, washed my hands, & headed back to bed. I glanced at her door & noticed an #eye peering at me through the crack. An inhuman eye. Then it blinked.
