Walking. Edward hated walking. Edward also happened to be about as lazy
as a three toed sloth on a rather large prescription of valium. But walk
he did. It was quite a long walk. And considering the fact that Edward
was as fit as a drowning goldfish it was quite a brisk walk.

Meanwhile back at the palace........ Queen Victoria stared at the book
that propped up the throne for all this time. She had never really
noticed it before. And now it was behaving as if it was the only real
thing in the whole room. It gleamed. No, Victoria thought, it glowed.
She reached for the book. Slowly and warily as if expecting something to
happen, and feeling a little foolish when nothing did.

Edward tripped over a rock in the road. Edward swore. Edward walked
again.

The young Queen opened the book. She started to read the book. And as
she read Victoria couldn’t help the feeling that the book was also
reading her.

..........oh yeah you bet your ass this is to
be continued........
It was a long way between the town of Knobbly Knoll and The Hill.
Knobbly Knoll was built on a plain. In fact the entire country was
plain. The Hill is written up in geography textbooks as “one of those
freak occurance of nature.” Although if you ever saw The Hill you would
notice that one of the prominant features is the tremendous moat which
surrounds it. Over the hundreds of years The Hill has been in existance
noone had ever noticed that the volume of the earth that makes up The
Hill is very much similar to the approximate amount of earth that is not
in the moat.
Hence, The Hill has always been one of this worlds natural wonders. Go
figure.
She touched the book. The Book seemed to purr like a kitten, a kitten
bound with the hide of a thousand year old dragon, but a kitten
nevertheless. She pulled the book out from beneath the throne.
She stopped reading.
She sat perfectly still.
She was thinking.
Here is what she was thinking......
