Booking Through Thursday #5
Well, it looks like it's that time of the week again. It doesn't seem like all that long ago that we did last weeks. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
* Pick up the nearest book. (I'm sure you have one nearby.)
* Turn to page 123.
* What is the first sentence on the page?
* The last sentence on the page?
* Now ... connect them together ...
(And no, you may not transcribe the entire page of the book - that's cheating!)
Okay I have to begin with the disclaimer that I'm not really a writer, I wish I was and could write the great Canadian novel but that's not bound to happen. But I must also say that I like this idea for Booking Through Thrusday, this might be a fun thing to do once every couple of months. It's a great way to get the creative juices flowing. So, don't say I didn't warn you but read at your own risk!
"Then he disappeared into the lee of the mountains."
It wasn't long after Preston disappeared that I was reminded of the Geldings that dwell in this very mountain. It's not that these little freckled three feet tall sprites are dangerous but I would hate to encounter those glowing eyes and be forced into a battle of wits with them, after all I'm the most intelligent Waldore around. And Preston has an intelligence quotient is exactly two and a half points lower than your average Toadman (at 68 on the human IQ scale).
The last time Preston and I bumped into a Gelding my brain was black and blue from the mental beating we encountered. That's how I was; Preston required several injections of Lanadore before he could even begin functioning again. I'd hate to see him like that again but then again I cannot rightly leave him in there on his own...or can I? It's definite that he wouldn't go in for me. He's making the trek in there so he can finish the spell so that Francine will marry him. I'm not sure I'm ready to face them again just to help the fool on his mission.
I don't have a lot of time to decide. I either need to jump in there or run now. I made my decision. "I drew three deep breaths and made my way into the dark tunnel."
The book the quotations come from is The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers. I'm reading this book for the Orbis Terrarum Challenge.

Fantastic job.
Happy BTT!

Judy: Idea's huh? I'd be interested to find out what comes of this idea ;)
Kat: Thank you.
Christine: Yeah, there are a lot of colours for such a short entry. When I looked back on it even I found it difficult to read. Something to keep in mind for next time.
Linda: Thank you. (Comment this)
