For the Hermits -- Updates Thursday
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- I'm glad you've asked. You see, thirteen years ago I was wandering through the Yukon when I was suddenly captured by a community of eleven hermits. I asked them whether they could still technically claim hermitship and all its related tax and social benefits, being that they were technically a group and thus not solitary. In response, they growled and grimaced and told me that they were going to eat me. I asked if there was no alternative, and they said, well, maybe, if I were to tell them a story, they might put off devouring my yummy flesh. So I began in the classical epic style with rhymed heroic couplets thinking that I'd go on so long that they'd all fall asleep and I'd escape. However, before I'd even finished the third quatrain, they interrupted and told me it'd have to be a very very short story. They didn't care for long ones. So I told them a very very short story and made an accompanying doodle in the dirt with a stick. I repeated this each night for a long long time. Fortunately, they were old hermits who enjoyed smoking pipes. One by one, they all died of cancer or melancholy, and I escaped back into civilization.
