In the nocturnal hours,
Braving temperatures dropping below -20 degrees celcius,
they gathered together.
Huddled in between doors, barely room to sit,
they waited with baited breath.
For hours the mass squished together; laughing and fretting together.
Forced to wait the last lap outside, they stood clustered together for warmth.
Hopping and jumping to keep their toes from freezing.
Then the Strangers approached.
They are not part of the group; they do not belong here.
unwanted. unwanted.
Anxiety grew among them. but they held together - using their numbers to beat of the surging waves.
Light began to rise up from the earth.
The sun arose to light their way, but with it came bitter cold winds, trying to thwart their efforts. Trying to make them abandon their quest. But they remainded strong.
Undaunted by the chill.
At last their efforts were rewarded.
At last Wii are victorious!

Allo BDog!
I'm quite pleased that you have finally acquired a Wii system. There are tons of them lying around here in Bologna.. I was going to offer to ship you one if you couldn't get one anytime soon. Is it really -20°C? For real??
