      Smell....
Fire, Omelette, Waffle, Breakfast....
      Feel....
Coarse Blankets, Lumpy Bed, Cold Smooth Thing....
      Hear....
Grumbles, Fire Crackling, Dripping....
      See....
Can't....
      See....
Still Can't....
      Move....
For the fifth time the drunken viking lifted his head and passed out,
thus hitting his head on the bedrail and spending another few minutes
in the realm of his unconscious.

      Think....
He wasn't used to this operation, so he thought slowly and
deliberately, to prevent too much friction. He reviewed the
information he had gleaned from his previous trips into wakefulness.
Smell.... he was pretty sure that food was being prepared. Feel....He
could tell that he was in bed with something. Hear....Something was
there, moving, and the fire was crackling. He couldn't see, though,
and that bothered him, so he tried Feeling again, he could feel a
blindfold on his face. The viking thought about this for a moment, he
slowly lifted his hands, and pulled off the blindfold, only to be
blinded by the sunlight streaming in through the roof of the poorly
thatched hut. He turned his head away from the light and jumped from
the bed, pulling most of the sheets, and whatever was sharing the bed
with him onto the floor. He blinked, trying to see the room, and was
surprised to see Athorbalo standing in front of him with a spatula,
wielding it like a weapon. "GET BACK TO BED!" Wonko complied with this
order, and on his way back to bed, he tripped over the Elturanian
Night Lizard that had become his familiar three months ago. He landed
on the bed, pulled the covers back up, and went back to sleep. Ten
minutes later he was treated to breakfast in bed.
