I woke to a bright flashing light and even as I tried to roll away from it, the light followed my movements. What in the world was happening.
Eventually, thanks to my rolling about, I fell out of my bed and got my usual hardwood wake up. The light was still flashing, but as I got back to my feet I could hear Azel at the door.
"I am awake." I groaned. "Please stop the disco party."
Azel's pretty laugh was pleasant to my ears as the obnoxious flashing finally disappeared.
"Don't take too long in there, or I will be back with a brighter light."
"Yes ma'am."
As Azel moved away from the door, I quickly got dressed in my new clothes. They were not very interesting, but my pants had plenty of pockets and the shirt had a clip for my bow on its back. To finish my dressing routine, I slipped the Backup Plan behind the quiver and moved the small piece of heavy furniture, away from the door.
