"Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. Hello fellow writer! My name is Sandra. I am one of the sly foxes.
Title: For Whom the Trolls Bell
First Impression: Okay, I have taken note of your warning, so I will attempt to contain my groans. I anticipated humour and you did not disappoint. As the title so stipulates a troll did indeed fulfill his sacred duties as a bell ringer. I laughed and held my own noggin'. He of the mouthful of a moniker used his head in an admirable all be it headache inducing manner. He as it turns out thinks on his feet. He adapts to the given situation.
What needs your attention: Oops, I believe a wee word is missing in action. "He went to rope..." Shouldn't there be a 'the'? Nothing else is amiss.
What part I liked best: Any and all of it! Oorgmph is a problem solver. He has a good, solid, bell-ringing head on his shoulders. I suppose I could say he 'went ahead' and rang his own bell as well as that of the basilica. I love the reactions of the meandering cardinal and the acolyte's response is beyond a groaner. Isn't the English language a marvel? I wonder if this piece should be offered in ESL classes? If you understand this you're ready to mangle the language along with us so called native speakers. Try and get your head around this. Put your heads together if you think it is necessary. With a few deft strokes you created a funny story for the given prompt.
Overall Impression: I laughed and loved this story. It is hilarious. Perhaps next time Oorgmph will elect to tie a knot at the end of his rope and hang on. Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure! What does the fox say??? Listen carefully.
