Commentary:

I feel like if they ever meet again, Aquila and Dick Schwartz will probably remember this encounter. Will Eddie Gagnon and Avi? Should they?

This 6-pager is a crossover with WHO KILLED THE CENTURION?, my friend David's novel, which I, as its editor, contributed enough to that I have a cover credit. The story is his, many of the jokes are mine. It's available on Amazon now.

"Were?" Avi asks. "...Wait, where did they go?"
Avi and Aquila stand alone in the otherwise empty, starkly lit Hall of the Castle as we fade out --

We find Dick Schwartz, asleep in a bathtub, snoring, fast asleep...

...just as we find Aquila, asleep in her chair, snoring, fast asleep, her copy of Who Killed the Centurion resting on her face.

Who Killed the Centurion out now!
