Re: Sleeper
did he fall onto a railway sleeper?
or
did he just lose track of time?
or
was there no points in him hanging around?

Do you think he'll return, or is he just single minded?

Re: Sleeper
Wonder if he had enough steam to find the right track home and learn his lesson? bet his hangover felt like a express train coming to a halt.
Still I am sure he will find his track soon enough.
