This is a story about a day in a hermit's life and his unpredictable demise. He is a simpleton with a penchant for regressing in his narration, yet there is wisdom in his simple rantings.
This is a cute story that everyone can relate to because who has never been afraid of the dark, or not known someone who was? This is a family story that I think everyone can enjoy,except the very young who might be a little frightened by it.
It should be so familiar that it worries you... Extra points if you can tell me why. :-) Another classic story butchered in a way that only I can. :-) "He smiled, and pumped. I quivered. He bent his head down and quickly licked one of my nipples. I jumped, and when he managed to catch the other one on the next stroke I was committed to coming again."
It helps if you have read A Tall Tale from the Badger. An alternative European history by an old soldier with insults to lots of people. Best not read by those with thin skins
My daughter's friend seemed to read my forbidden desires and had fun seeing me so excited as she coaxed me into doing all those naughty things with her.
