How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Chapter Ten: Return To Sender
|
July 22 I've just had an experience which I would have counted as shocking only two months ago; however, tonight...or rather, this morning...I'm not in the least bit surprised. I woke up famished at about one a.m., and decided I would go down and make myself a cold fried chicken sandwich out of last night's leftovers. Nothing like a bit of the Colonel as a late-night snack! I stumbled down the stairs and into the kitchen, not even bothering to turn on a light. I pulled open the refrigerator door, and Gimli stepped out, munching on the last of my chicken. He must have sensed my growing wrath, because he said, "I know. I know. Back in the portal," and then heaved a huge sigh. I would have felt sorry for him if he hadn't finished off my supper. "This happens every time," he said sadly. "Nobody tosses a dwarf." At least he had the courtesy to pull the door closed behind him. How "dwarf" equates to "man", I'll never know. Lisa
