"Told you, I already found it," Mergo answered. "It's burned now." But its skeleton still stood, casting a long, pointed shadow over his path for the foreseeable future. Even beyond this death.

Offering a rough solute, Mergo veered around Nate and continued on his way, leaving that street far behind him. His usual route would have taken him by many of the abodes of the legends. One in particular often liked to drink tea on his porch about this time. Mergo went the other way.

Oh, right. He had said that. Nate rubbed his face as he watched the gallade jog off into the distance. God, he just wanted to go back to sleep. It was way too early for fucking thinking.

Worse, now he had to carry this sack of shit with him all the way down to the fucking beach. Nate slipped the bag's useless strap over his head and scowled down at it. He wasn't even sure that dragging it would be less effort; he just knew it would get snagged on every fucking thing. After a moment of seething, staring at the bag, Nate gave it a solid kick.

The bag yelped and tipped over, something moving fitfully under its fabric. Nate watched it a moment longer, in weary disgust, then hoisted it into his arms and set off down the street. It was time to catch up.
