   Carlos had been working in the lab all morning. He came out to fix lunch around noon. Cecil was sitting at the table, writing in his journal. Some time between noon and the time lunch was ready, Cecil had disappeared. Carlos knew that Cecil didn't always sleep at night and that he was probably asleep somewhere. Carlos went to look for him. It was like trying to play hide-and-go-seek, but Carlos didn't mind.
   In the past, Cecil had fallen asleep in the laundry room under a pile of clothes, fully clothed in the bathtub, under the bed, and under his desk. One time, Carlos found him sleeping on the roof.
   Carlos searched the house for his missing Cecil. Eventually, he found him in the pantry, using a box of Flakey O's as a pillow.
   Carlos picked him up and carried him to bed. He tucked Cecil in before going to eat his lunch.


I finished WTNV yesterday. If any of you have listened to it, please let me know. :)
