A deeper look into Jedediah and Octavius's experiences during Battle of the Smithsonian, and a look at what could have happened after the end.
“I’d say,” Kahmunrah continued, holding the hourglass up and grinning gleefully down at the cowboy trapped inside it, “he has a little over an hour.”

Summary
After a child accidentally brings a tiny plastic cowboy back home from the museum, Octavius and Jedediah have to race against time to make it back before sunrise.
Larry looked back at the cowboys. “Well, where’d he go?”
“Didn’t say,” another one said, shrugging. “He just left.”
“Oh, great. That’s just-” Larry looked out the window at the horizon, which was brightening by the second. “He’ll die out there,” he said to himself. “He- why would he do that?”
“Octavius? Said he had to find ol’ Jedediah,” the first cowboy that had spoken said, shaking his head. “Sorta sweet, ain’t it?”
This story is set in the same universe as my previous NATM story, Cacoethes, but can also be read as a stand-alone.
