introducing the short-lived Link
In the evening in the Marrow a smallish Link sails
into a sunlit puddle behind the shuttered sail-shop seeking a teeny store of
sail. The Link arduously tosses his anchor, stills the wee wake he has had to
navigate and standing upon the deck calls in a stern tinny voice over the rail
“Oh ye Lord Of Marrow” why have ye abandoned your faithful Link to pitch sail
alone?”
In the morning of the Marrow the shopkeeper stops
to open his backdoor and steps unseeing crushing the teeny empty bottle of port
on the deck of the decimated boat on the bottom on his shoe – only one
miniature almost invisible rail remains, sticks in a crevice of his shoe and clicks
softly on the tiled floor as he opens his sunny shop unaware of the tragedy
that he has traversed and unwittingly trails.
What a creative use you have made of all of these words, Pearl! A fascinating tale.

Awww thank Sharon ... To you and Walt - you sweeties - can only say Link was only a little link with a short life - perhaps a little back story might be in order ... :)
