Though the WDA wasn’t sure which friend had suffered the loss of a tail, he spoke at length about it, while slaking his thirst.

How I came to write Pim
People often ask how I came to write Pim. It seems like a thousand years since I discovered Pim, or that Pim
discovered me. Thankfully I kept detailed notes and saved photos from that time. While I can’t swear to the
absolute accuracy of what you are about to read, I have done my best to capture the essence of how Pim entered my life.
Hearing rumours of misfortune among his friends, the WDA swooped down to the cantina to obtain news, and perhaps a refreshing beverage.
Strangely, no one considered piecing together the bits of Gim’s tail littered around town, to repair Slim’s.
Slim’s proposition was simple, since Pim had the ability to divide into two entities.
Happening to be in the same town, Pim visited Slim in hospital.
So toxic was Slim’s tail that the lizard regurgitated it…In later years the tail could be seen wandering the earth.
Returning to his cantina after a brief rest, the proprietor came upon Slim, ‘cabeza sin cuerpo.’
Under the cantina the lizard was still as a statue. Contemplating. Digesting.
But the sartorially eccentric lizard was faster. She bit off Slim’s tail, ingurgitated it, and skittered under the floor of the cantina.
Having wrapped the lizard’s tail in a tasteful display of gauze, Pim bid her adios. Moments later Slim arrived.
