(Good call... If I had to feed the whole herd, I'd never get any work done...
)
After my conversation with Dreamwalker, I head home to see if Flossie is still around my servant in tow. Yup, Flossie's still there. Looks like he was sleeping the whole time. I breathe a sigh of relief and run my hands through my glorious mane of long luxuriant hair... What?! Bald? "Aaargghhhhhh!!!!!!!! KUNAX!!!!!!!!!" My cry resounds throughout the pleasant sleepy valley.
I noticed that the town, while it survived the assault, has been greatly damaged. I'm going to be busy repairing structures. Gratis, of course, since it was my fault. But, that can wait til the morrow. I've had a tough day, and I could use some rest.
I feed Flossie and head upstairs. Luckily, my house being built 30 feet up on a cliff, it sustained absolutely no damage from the elephant attacks. Funny how things work out.
When I open the door, I see Sexy Blue lying in a heap on the floor. A bottle of sleeping tablets by her outstretched hand. She looks as though she's been crying. "Blue!!" I cry as I run towards her. "No! Blue! Wake up!" I shake her and try to walk her about the room, but it's no use, she's in a coma. I can't wake her. Despondent, I place her in my bed and try to make her comfortable.
How could this have come to pass? I ask myself,
Why?!
(By the way, I got a note from Blue that she may not be around for a bit, so I thought this might be a nice dramatic way to work it in. She can awaken whenever she likes, and until then, I will care for her as dotingly as I am able. I briefly considered having her dead and going to hell to fetch her back. But, sounds like too much trouble after all we've been through.)
I set up a makeshift bed on the floor and start to drift into sleep. Just as I am about to go under, I hear a deep bass rumble and odd, juicy sounds. I go out to the balcony to see what the hell's happening now. I see that Dreamwalker has brought a foxy elephant maid for Flossie and Flossie is busily working out his libido.
Awww, he looks so happy...
Dreamwalker sees me leaning over the balcony and gives me a big thumbs up and a huge grin. "Thanks, Dreamwalker! I'll start working on the plans for your house tomorrow." I didn't have the heart or the strength to tell him of Blue's condition. I'll fill him in tomorrow. First, I have to get some sleep.
