"Hello darlings, come on in," I say, waving a hand. I'm sitting tipped back in a chair, my new pet around my neck, wearing the clothes I succeeded in finding in the burning kitchen, which is no shirt, not my pants, but in fact Than's which are too short on me (but are nice and goth) and actually my own shoes. That's it though.
"What---where-where the hell did that snake come from?"
"Vent. She was sad there. Weren't you Great Hisscape?" I ask, kissing her nose. The cops are standing in the doorway looking horrified. "She's not a python, but instead a constrictor. Oh calm down sugar, she won't constrict anyone I ask her not to. But she is awfully hungry aren't you, gorgeous?"
That does not comfort them in the slightest.
