Wait, let me get some popcorn so I can sit back and follow...
Lol..holy crap someone did it! LMAO. Oh lord.
What's sad is that I really could fill volumes with rather ridiculous adventures I've had. Ala! Yo, Ala! I've been telling my side of things, it's time for you to share :) After all, you are the rich creamy center of Gr-ala-nt :)

OK-so what we should do is just keep adding a line or two. That way the story can keep twisting around! When we are done we can E-pub it! lolAnybody want to be the first line?
Lol I just totally pictured Snoopy on his doghouse in front of his typewriter.
Poor Grant You are not gonna to be able to help commenting on every paragraph are you? I thought up a start but everyone needs to join in..
There are certain kinds of towns, where a certain kind of lad seems to prosper. A boy that knows hard work, so is strong, yet also knows to use his mind. A boy that knows the doings of the entire populace of his village, yet harbors no judgement or ill-will towards any. A boy with a twinkle in his eye and a lilt in his step.Taren was one of these towns, and Gralant was one of those lads.
The only thing about Gralant is that he had a nose for trouble. If Jason the farmer was milking his cows, Gralant was there. When Aloha the baker was mixing her dough, Gralant was there.If a new ditch was dug or a new barn was raised, Gralant made sure to be underfoot.
Not digging, milking, or barn raising...just underfoot.
I'll be good, Maggie :) I'll sit quietly and observe
He said as he surreptitiously pocketed the workman's lunch.
Gralant was everywhere! And since he was everywhere all the time, it was quite a while before the villagers started to notice that where Gralant was - trouble followed.While Jason was milking the cow, he often got kicked. When Aloha was baking the bread, it often fell flat. When barns were being raised, ropes often snapped.
The truly amazing thing however was the alacrity with which he seemed to get from place to place. How could one person be in so many places so quickly?
and even more disturbing, Gralant would just KNOW things. He would give first hand accounts of events, even when others knew he had been elsewhere at the time.
The villagers often shook their heads, and the garden-dwelling gnomes often shook in their brightly-colored boots: it was as though Gralant could actually be in two places at once.
But the real trouble started on the date of Gralant's sixteenth birthday. A date which by coincidence was the day the whiskey dealer drove his cart into town.
I say we burn him! Cried Clod from his hut near the town square...but no one paid much attention. Clod shouted that several times a week. It seemed to be his answer to any town problem.
Gralant laughed at old Clod and danced circles around him. "Build a fire, build a fire!" he mocked and laughed, then headed to the dealer and his wagon of whiskey.
"Gralant!" called Mike, the only teacher in town, "Stay away from that whiskey! Bad things happen to those who drink whiskey!"":-P," said Gralant.
And so the boy Gralant fetched his whiskey and bit by bit found his way to the horse barn of the innkeeper Mrs Joseph. This was largely because he knew how much it infuriated her to find the boy in one of the corals after a night's drinking but also because it was quiet.
But a short-time later, an anxious stable boy reported to Ms Joseph that Gralant was in an argument in the barn. She crept into the barn to see what happening, and as she got near to the spot that the stableboy had pointed out, she heard the following:"But it's our birthday!"
"But if we mess with the gnomes, they will take it out on the town"
"But it will be funny"
"But it's not worth it"
"We don't care"
We? thought Ms Joseph, how many people were in on this conspiracy againt the gnomes? She knew that Gralant had some eerie abilities, but this could get the town in trouble!
Hey-anybody else not getting their notifications from Goodreads? I didnt get any yesterday....
MrsJoseph crept closer to the voices. There he was! Gralant was standing by himself holding two bottles of whiskey with an angry look on his face. He reached up, pushed his shoulder and then said, “Who do you think you’re pushing!”Suddenly Gralant’s face screwed up in pain. His skin began to ripple. MrsJoseph was giving serious thought to running away when Gralant split in two. “TWO Gralants?! This is horrible!” MrsJoseph thought to herself. The identical Gralants were standing there, each holding a bottle of whiskey.
“I want to play with the gnomes!” shouted Gralant, taking a swig from his whiskey bottle.
“Well, I don’t want to, it’s not that funny!” shouted Gralant back, taking a swig from his whiskey bottle.
Lmao :)

Goodreads changed some of their software or something this past weekend which effected our notifications. I think that they are running now, though.
