A figure hides drowned in shadow, watching for the right time to strike...On guard, Ank, takes 20, the other, Morp actively looks each round.....'What you staring,' Morp anxiously asked.'That tree by the break in the old ruin,'answered Ank.'Why?' asked Morp, straining his eyes in the dark. 'I don't see anything''There's someone there,' he answered.' I'm sure of it. I have that tingling on the back of my neck that I get when I know someone's there.''Could be the rain,' Morp offered.'It's not the rain you dope,' Ank snapped, jabbing Morp in the ribs.'Well I don't see anyone,' Morp anwered defensively.'And there's nothing wrong with my eyes.''Except you can't see in the dark,' Ank continued.'The physician told you so. Where are those glasess he gave you?''Those things!' Morp protested.'They make me look nerdy''Yeah, cause squinting all the time makes you look like Aerler the Great himself!,' Ank said. 'So....where are they?''In my back pack,' he answered. 'But I swear there's no one there!''He's there,' Ank Confidently answered.'Or she is. Or it is....but dammit something's there. Just give it a minute and you'll see.'Rummaging in his pack, Morp pulled out the tiny wine frames that tightly held what he assumed were the bottom of a pair of bottles. Struggling, he pulled the tight frames against his large head, looping the wire over each ear.Ank suppressed the urge to erupt in laughter.'Ok, so where is this she-he-it..eh?' he demanded, getting angry at the laughter in Ank's eyes. 'I swear, I can read the arrest warrant pinned to the tree, but there's nothing there.''And I'm telling you there is,' Ank retorted.'You need to lay of the booze,' Morp hepfully suggested.'Me?' Ank snapped.'I'm not the one wearing last nights empties on my head!''That does it,' he answered, ripping the googles from his head.Across the street he saw a shadow move.'What was that,' asked Morp.'I told ya...all ya had to do was wait two minutes'Lowering their weapons, the two charged across the rain soaked cobbled street.</blockquote>
