02-01 - The frogre
(Published 19-Oct-2020 21:30:08)
On a good day, Andrew, the half-frog half-ogre stood 8 feet tall.
Today was not a good day.
"Stop squirming, Andrew," said the tailor. "I can't fix these trousers if you won't stop squirming."
Andrew looked in the mirror.
* I can't believe she said yes *
Andrew shifted flippers - and growled.
"If you refuse to stop moving," said the tailor, "I will keep jabbing you."
Andrew willed himself to freeze. Or tried.
* I mean seriously - you try standing still on flippers! *
The tailor adjusted the pants and tried pinning the pleat - and missed, poking the needle into Andrew's thigh.
Andrew accidentally kicked the tailor through the wall.
"Send me the invoice," said Andrew. "I'll get married in the swamp."
