leaning very suspiciously to theleft.
Time is tick toing, moonlight,yelped flying in nervous loops.

You saved me.
You may return home as officialheroes of the kingdom, but how

dust in the air.
Alice wrinkled her nose, ah,chewy and in a flash, they were

(05:35):
back in the cardboard box.
Everything was quiet.
Apart from the rain, stilltapping on the living room
