Snared Part Two
Curses!
The Cyclopes’ King stares at me like an insect under a microscope.
The lantern I am trapped in twirls, hurling my stomach into my mouth.
Savage sounds mark a scuffle. Vicious race! One of them probably spun the lantern for mischief!
The lantern abruptly flings me out. Dazed, I lie on the grimy palm of the Cyclopes’ King.
He blubbers, “I have an ouch. Can you remove the splinter?”
I remonstrated, “You had only to ask politely instead of kidnapping me!”
I stagger under a ‘sword!’
Seeing the glint of a needle approach his finger, the blue-eyed giant faints!

So much indeed for a scary giant! I can just imagine him fainting and sliding slowly under a table in slow motion!
So much fun to imagine those events, Margarida. You made it well.

Thank you, Heather for your encouraging praise. With huge glossy old-time illustrations, I would like to think that this would make a lovely amusing children’s book.
I love the humor in part 2, Margarida! I can just picture him fainting seeing the needle ? Hopefully, he will remember to ask nicely next time.
