Chapter 7
The Passing of a Stone
Lardo,
Spandalf, and a horse ran along the horizon. The horse was falling
behind. "Come along, Spamwide, keep up!" Spandalf yelled.
Spam
ran up from behind the horse. "Ha, ha, I bet the reader thought I
was a horse!"
Spandalf seemed to be talking to the air, "Be
careful both of you. The enemy has many spies in his service: birds,
beasts." He turned to Lardo "Is it safe?"
"Is
what safe?"
"The Doughnut."
"Crud! I was supposed to
take that with me?"
Spandalf slapped a hand to his forehead as
Lardo disappeared over a hill. "Oh my gosh, and this guy's the
main character."
When he returned his held it high. "Is it ok
I told some people I had this?"
Spandalf killed him in the
head, but then brought him back to life. "Never put it on, for
the agents of the Dark Lord will be drawn to its power. Always
remember, Lardo, Doughnut is trying to get back to its master. It
wants to be found." Spandalf hopped on his horse and rode off into
the distance.
Spam awkwardly edged closer to Lardo, "Dare you
to put it on."
The two
Blobbits walked along. "Man, I'm so fat!" Spam complained. "If
I wasn't so fat, walking would be easier!"
The two came to a
scarecrow. Lardo walked passed it, but Spam stopped behind. "This
is it." Spam said, a bit scared.
Lardo turned around, "This
is what?"
"If take one more step, it'll be the farthest
away from home I've ever been."
Lardo shrugged, "Well,
you can stay if you like. No problem. You're just a slow
hindrance."
Spam stood there, wondering. Lardo kept walking.
"Yeah, ok." Spam said as he started to follow Lardo.
