User:ZDee/A merry gentleman (wikia test)

In the street, you pass a tall, cheerful man with a brisk manner, a stovepipe hat and a row of bright brass buttons down the front of his coat. He winks familiarly as you pass and spreads his hands: eight fingers.

You've seen him before. Of course you have. He was beside your bed when you woke this morning. Or were you still asleep?

Note: Your Nightmares are reaching a dangerous level.

At this distance there's something migrainous and vague about his outline. It hurts your eyes.
