They've alerted every station and there's lots of fear in town. Giant rats are in the attic and the termites eat the wood. The status quo is quite dramatic but it isn't understood. There are handguns in the closets and grenades in all the cars changing hands for cash deposits in the alleys and the bars. There's a shadow 'cross the city freezing smiles and breaking hearts.
Nerves are tense, and it's a pity no one knows when it all starts.
There's a dragon in the parlor with his belly filled with meat. You can hear somebody holler, but it's drowning in the heat. They will scorn you for your worry and pretend to be so smug while they're really in a hurry sweeping bones beneath the rug. Now the dragon has digested and his greed is on the wake, but his bankers have invested what they know may be at stake. There's a crisis at the border with the military men who have just received an order they will follow who knows when.
