I like gnomes. Hence the delight I took in this year’s Halloween costumes.
A number of years ago, I tried several times to incorporate gnomes into stories I was working on for classes. It never worked out.
But, as I never get rid of things I’ve written (you never know), I recently came across a few snippets of what look to be portions of a story about a young, somewhat outcast gnome. They amused me, and so I share them with you here, with a little bit of polishing:

Short and sweet, folks. A full weekend has turned out to be much busier than planned, and I just don’t have the time or energy to wax smart with my words.
So…
Happy Halloween!!!
Saturday was a day for being in costume, and suffering under a bushy blonde wig for several hours at a time. In the early afternoon, we visited the niece and nephews in our gnome costumes, as Gnomeo and Juliet is a current favorite over there. They responded better than they did to Link and Zelda last year, and didn’t even ask us to remove our pointy hats. They grow up oh so fast.

My husband comes up with great Halloween costume ideas.
Last year we were Link and Zelda. The year before that, Buttercup and Wesley. It gets blurry before that, but I think another year back we were V and Evey from V for Vendetta. We’ve managed to get most of what we need from Goodwill, fabric stores and the seasonal Halloween stores (mainly for the wigs). The ‘V’ year, hubs made his mask with paper mache and acrylic paint. We still have it somewhere.
