RATTLED
The pounding inside her head is what woke her up that morning, not the sunlight coming in through the window... not the sound of traffic on the streets of Central City... not even the rather uncomfortable bed.

As her left hand moved to cover her eyes - okay, the light was rather annoying - she realized two things:

Number one: There was something cold on her hand.

Number two: She wasn't wearing much more than a bedsheet.

Okay, three things...

She wasn't alone in the bed.

In the second between seeing the man in the bed and the ring on her finger, the previous evening rushed back.

She'd gone out with some friends and they'd moved from one hotspot to the next, living up an evening on the town. She vaguely remembered seeing the façade of Twister, but she couldn’t remember if they'd gone in.

She'd had quite a bit of Winkie beer... and there had been dancing...

Her mind drifted to a bit later in the evening and she remembered that it had been her best ...exercise... in a while.

The ring could only mean one thing, however.

'Zero......' Oh, was she in trouble.

What was his last name?
