I was on the verge of taking bets yesterday...

...on the likelihood of there being a plague of locusts awaiting me when I returned from ze job this afternoon.

Well, no locusts (yet). What I have instead are massive, nickel-sized houseflies. And a faint, yet pungent smell of rot coming from somewhere in the vicinity of my bedroom. Methinks one of the MOUSES/rats/squirrels/neighbors has crawled into a wall somewhere to die.

Oh, Fastness. I think I'm due for a "character" level up any day now, and it's all thanks to you...

That will be all.
