A chapter ends in solemnity

Through a fitful night, devestation in the guise of a addled out of control beast was visited on the contents of my desert view terrarium.
It is a scene of devastated horror as the sand was tossed and the fauna consumed.
Colonel Graypatch is as nonchalant as ever, however, as though it were just another day in his life.
At least so far the items he consumed appear to be digesting. I have been researching his menu and a few of the entrees were mildly venomous so I may be taking the Colonel down to his clinic later for a look.

My sorrow is small but thoroughly felt. I'll be refilling a relocating the next scene, and of course making the security tougher for the oppressive Colonel to deal with.
