I'm so sorry! If you had five hours of homework a night, you wouldn't have time to write either. I promise to try to be better. Enjoy the pain to follow.
The next days pass quickly, and the gifts continue to stack up in Bilbo's room. So far, he's counted at least thirty, but ignores them to continue working on paperwork. He hopes that ignoring the problem until it goes away is a workable solution.
However, he realizes that this isn't an option when he procures a ladder, puts the next present on the stack, and it promptly topples down.
And Bilbo is quite literally drowning in gold.
Already feeling the bruises that are sure to follow, the burglar reconsiders his strategy of having no strategy.
He's hoping this ends soon.
Please review even though I've been a horrible author. For Bilbo's sake.
Who can resist that?
