And, yes, that is a comb stuck in my hair. :)

There was a knock at the door. A-Rizzle stirred slightly, then settled back into sleep. Dark Kool wasn't sure if he was hearing things or dreaming. Silence. A moment passed before there was another knock at the door, this time more insistent than the first.
