Chapter 10: 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.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Gimli fans, sorry. Both of you.
Mornie Utule: For another funny portal story, we recommend "Experiment Gone...Right?" by Viv (http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=751637). It's very short and has a hilarious surprise ending. We can't say too much about it for fear of spoiling the surprise!
Blablover5: You know, we were *this* close to putting Cambot in the story! The next chapter title is kind of a giveaway, though. Care to make another guess? And happy belated birthday!
