My Good Night Buddy:
All through the spring, summer, and
fall of 2007 I had a troll living in one of my trees. I could only see him at
night. He always had a friendly smile so I knew he was a good troll, but his
appearance was definitely that of a troll. Every night he would wish me a good
night and every morning (before dawn) a good day. He was made up of a combination
of branches and leaves black against the night sky. I named him Albert – he
just looked like an Albert. When cold weather came and the leaves fell I had to
say goodbye for the winter. In the spring of 2008, I looked anxiously to see if
Albert had returned; he had, but not the same. He had not only come back with a
frown instead of a smile, but he had grown somehow evil and no longer my buddy.
So, I took a pole saw and a ladder and erased him. I do miss the 2007 Albert.
