Charles had spent months meticulously researching the proper protocols and now he was finally going to met Him. His weekend getaway at Number 29 would make his dream a reality.
He entered the coordinates and felt a tingling sensation as the interior of Number 29 slowly changed to the scene of a large garden party. Everyone turned to stare at him. Something was wrong. This wasn’t Via del Pellegrino.
Charles heard someone yell “frisby on the wreake” and a naked man appeared beside him. Charles began to panic. Something was horribly wrong.
