Doreen giggled. One of the local squirrels had just said something extremely hilarious, though she couldn’t recall it in English right now for the life of her. Which was totally okay, she decided. She sat in the branches and while she normally only had fifty, maybe sixty at the most, squirrels around her, there were hundreds. The jabbering was almost deafening.

There was a click, and then the sound of tremolo strings flooded the forest. The wave of squirrels parted to go around the balding, bearded man standing on a fallen log and holding an ancient boombox over his head, volume cranked as Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" echoed through the trees. He cackled with laughter as the squirrels bounded past him, a maniacal gleam in his eye. It was this or run, and frankly, setting the squirrel army loose on the bad guys was at least a good way to die.

With the music playing, the wave of squirrels continued to move forward, individuals only stopping to grab stuff to throw and Doreen? Doreen could not stop cackling as she and Monkey Joe stood high in the tree.

File:Doreen.jpg


Doreen and Monkey Joe were knocked back hard by the blast. For a moment Dori just laid where she was. Normally MJ came over to prod her up but there was nothing. She sniffed the air and turned her head towards where MJ's scent was coming from. Her eyes widened, MJ laid on some rubble his back at an odd angle, eerily still. It felt like her heart stopped. Dori didn't have many friends before the mansion and Monkey Joe had been the one constant that had kept her going. He couldn't be...

Doreen scrambled to her hands and knees and crawled over, picking up her friend with shaking hands. There was no mistaking the stillness of death.

"No! No no no! NOOO!" Dori screamed, her throat almost raw, "Wake up, come on, Monkey Joe, wake up! I'll give you anything, just wake up! All the nutella I can buy, anything, please, wake up. Please?!" she sobbed, holding the small squirrel to her chest, tears blurring her vision.

"Wake up. Please wake up."
