Huh? What's that?

"I was born on a foggy morning in the buxxbxzzzbuuz..."

You lean forward, trying to make out the words within the staticky recording- or whatever it is. The face itself seems to be getting clearer and your eyes pop at the strung out and pleading look on the wocky's face. It looks half starved, maybe even beaten, and the wierdest part is that something seems to be glinting metallically next to one eye.

A scaly paw descends on your shoulder and you jump back. The librarian leans over you and snaps the computer off.

"I'm very sorry, my young friend, but that terminal isn't working right. It seems to have some sort of virus on it. You'll find our real catalog over there."

He points towards an alcove and you realize the walls of it are really the drawers of the old card catalog system. You look back to find him staring at you expectantly. "Uh... ok." You get up and obediently head towards the nook. Once there, you look back to see the last of him as he heads back to the desk.

For a few minutes you stare at the card catalog, trying to decide what to do. Somehow, the idea of a book isn't as appealing any more. You can't forget that look you saw on the wocky's face. And the librarian interrupting you that way just doesn't seem right. He almost acts like he's hiding something... but what?
