After working a long day, Rocko wanted to sleep late. Others in his building had different ideas. At six o'clock in the morning, Rocko was awakened to guitar music.

Rocko got out of bed, barely a look to his owner, and started to hunt for the music. He followed the sounds into the living room, and onto the street. Then, he heard the drums with the guitar.

Shocked, Rocko couldn't decide if he was imagining what he saw. A mantis jamming and a lady bug on the drums. What could he do?

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

    Makes sense... That old dog could howl! Great work, sir!
