(/PIEntry #9////)

As Oscar's knuckle made its final knock on the door with the bald eagle, he found himself in darkness. "Am I going back home?" Oscar knew this wasn't the case because there was no swirling sensation pulling him back. Oscar stood motionless, listening in wait to the even more urgent, yet bodiless screams from within the door he could no longer see. Oscar moved his head in the direction he thought the window to be and saw only starlight and moonlight. It appeared that all the electricity had gone out in the building as well the whole community. He felt his way blindly towards the window at the end of the hall to get a better perspective. The feeble crawl made him feel so alone in the darkness. With his head out of the window, a strong scent of chocolate-pecan pie wafted into Oscar's nostrils. "This smells wonderful," he said as he climbed through the window and hopped down the fire escape in the direction of the only artificial source of light in town, towards the local diner. Before he could set his eyes straight once again, Oscar bumped into something rather hairy, and also in a hurry to discover the source of the scent. "Well, excuse me," the hairy being retorted. "Sorry," Oscar replied feebly, "do you smell that?" "I do, I am on the hunt to find it," replied the beast. "Well, if we have common motive and mission, why don't we work together? You look as if you have a good sense of smell about you."
