Sleepy Fox Hollow Monsters and monstrosities.

After she'd taken her fill from the caches, Brook had taken a much-need long night of sleep. She continued to slumber well into the daylight hours, and only in the afternoon did she rouse from her dreamless state to a bright new world. It would have been nice to have hope and a new outlook on life, but Brook lacked these things.
