Happy Birthday Illya ...

It's actually David McCallum's birthday, but I think most of us use it for the fictional event as well.  In honor of that, I was wondering if we might take a trip into the realm of storytelling, one sentence at a time.  I wonder what sort of birthday it might be for our Russian if we have a little fun with that.  

Here's the prompt and the first sentence, just post yours in the comments below.  I hope to see more of the story...

Illya's birthday wish was becoming a bit of a problem.

Add to all of that the miserable conditions, hot and dusty.

It seemed as though the best laid plans of mice and men, like Kuryakin's birthday wish weren't panning out.

However, as a master strategist, Napoleon was certain he could turn the situation to his advantage, and save the day; even in this dusty and dry place.
