Redsand Canyon Hangman is comin’ down from the gallows, and I don’t have very long.

I talked to Teo and they said Jack will be making cameo posts, so we can proceed. :)

Quite suddenly, the shaking subsided, leaving Towhee limp on the floor of the den. She blinked quite a few times, just lying there and breathing for a minute or two. Then, tentatively, she tried lifting her head. Her whole body ached for the movement—and she felt quite weak and wobbly—but she actually managed to roll onto her belly and sit up a little.

She wasn’t dead. Of course, Towhee wanted to know what the hell had just happened, what was wrong with her. But first, she looked over to the puppies. Mindlessly, she dragged herself back toward them, curling around the two little ones. She worried about getting the shakes again, though she was confident that Aquene or Maxim would get them out of harm’s way if they started up again.
