It came to my attention that a local library was looking for a Library Troll. Cyril is very interested in this position and has written the following letter of application.
I hope that you will agree to me becoming your resident
library troll. Up until recently I held the position of Bragg Creek bridge troll,
but with the recent floods, I have come to the conclusion that this position is
no longer a viable option. Besides there hasn't been a goat over the bridge in
years and the deer are just too wily.
In exchange for room, board, and onsite use of your library
materials, I can offer my services to address delinquent returns. My only
condition is that any offsite retrieval missions occur between midnight and
sunrise - I do not do well in sunlight. Besides, I think you will find my
persuasive techniques are most effective after dark. I can also guarantee that
I will not cause any loss of limb or life while on the property unless
permission is provided in writing. Offsite I will use only those tactics
necessary to achieve successful retrieval of your materials from members. We
can negotiate the terms of this condition (for example, I suggest one finger
per each month after notification of overdue materials).
Yours sincerely.
Cyril A. Troll
While making Cyril, I was amazed at how much detail and character you can get into faces, so... I could not stop at one troll.
Here is Cedric...
He is still recovering from watching his bridge wash
away down the Elbow
River. He is submitting a
proposal to the government to fund bridge reconstruction by establishing
"Troll Bridges." After dark, the resident troll collects a user fee -
there should be no issues with non-compliance.
