Chapter 4: Sleep Kills Bugs Dead

The inn wasn't very busy that day. Erinn had gotten maybe 4 guests, a couple of drinkers (because her inn seemed to attract those), and Ara came in to do his usual thing. It wasn't a quiet day, it never is when the bar is anywhere above half full. Everyone was talking about grottoes or what they thought of the more feminine inn staff.

Then, with no warning, the ground shook with a loud crash. The inn suddenly fell silent as a large bug-like monster holding scimitars walked in. His every step caused the room to shake, Erinn thought this monster was going to smash the building up. Instead of causing mass death, despair and property damage, he just walked up to the counter and stood there.

"M-M-May I help you s-sir?" Erinn proceeded to ask with a panicky voice.

"Uh…I don't know," the monster said with a slow, sleepy voice, "What am I doing here again?"

Erinn was confused, but she still felt nothing but fear. "D-Do you n-need a r-r-room?" Erinn asked to the demon.

"I'm not sure," he said, "I just woke up, and…uh…I forget." With that, he walked out the door.

"Wait… why is the door still intact?" was all Erinn could think of.
