After accidentally angering a self-proclaimed powerful wizard, who just so happens to be a new client for the Smiling Friends, Charlie finds himself with a curse that turns him into a small capybara by day and can only return to a critter during the night. Will he be able to break the curse before the end of the month, or will he be stuck as a small fuzzy animal for the rest of his already unlucky life?

Summary
A few drinks and a listening ear send Glep on a trip down memory lane...but not the one we know of. All the empires he watched rise and fall pale in comparison to the women he loved over the centuries, each with a special place in his heart. Here are just a few of their stories.
