Croyd Crenson is getting sleepy but he does not want to miss his sister's wedding. He wants to hear his sister say: "I do" before she gets married. Croyd does what he can to stay awake. The thing is he winds up changing physically anyways. He turns into a giant gargoyle looking creature and ends Wild Cards The Drawing of Cards #4 sleeping on the roof of a building. He should not have pushed himself to stay awake so long.
