I was finally safe. Glum-dun couldn't come into this tiny cabin. They had to stay away from humans. Especially since they put their houses in clearings and had dogs to bark at them, and cats to hiss. Those woke up the humans, as well as the chickens and other creatures. The humans would come out with their strong lights to see what was happening. And the trolls hated light, even flashlights could burn them.
So I was safe, and I could rest. And every now and then, maybe tell the human another part of the story. Right now I was very tired.
Now I could rest. And heal. At least that's what I hoped for as my heavy eye-lids closed.
. . . .
When I woke, the cabin was empty. I peaked over the side of that shoe box and saw only an empty chair, a table with a laptop closed, a drained coffee mug.
