Twenty Six Frogs

One year... [someone's just realized that his one year Paraversary has passed him by. And, dilemma of all dilemmas... he can't decide if this is good news or not]

Back home, I'll be gobbled up in moments, no doubt. Part of a giants' feast. And not even with the dignity of being a main course... No. I'm doomed to be a side dish. It's a dreadful truth, really.

And yet it's a choice between shamefully filling a giant's stomach... or having this place twist us about any which way it likes. And it'd hardly be surprising if it's got some fate worse than even appetizers in mind. There's no trusting anything that hides so you can't see what it's really like.

It's a terrible puzzle it is. And probably without any sort of solution. Least ways, none that will end pleasantly, I'm afraid.

But all the same, we must keep on keeping on. Chin up.

No doubt you lot have been driven mad by the strain of it and, really, it was only a matter of time. But we've got to put it off as best we can. Hopeless as it may be, it would be a shame to let it win so easily. A real shame.
