About Me, Grikkl – Gnome Stuff
Spilling the beans ‘aint my style
This is kind of embarrassing—that I’m doing this at all. It’s been so many centuries since my kind walked freely on the earth that humans think we never existed. That tales about gnomes or other types of fairy folk are merely stories told to amuse a child. Certainly not being an entire civilization that lives on (or in my case, under) the Earth.
For thousands of years, we’ve gone to a lot of trouble to lay low. Showing ourselves not at all. We get caught now and then, but anyone who speaks of us is dismissed as imagining things… or crazy… or drunk. So gnome sightings aren’t given much respect or belief.
A few facts about me
Age 800 human years – or thereabouts
Married to Adah, also a gnome
Offspring None
Second thoughts
That’s enough facts for now. Bad enough that I told you this much. They promised me (the guys who helped put this blog up) that if I change my mind, they can delete this page. Or this blog. But even if that happened, they can’t delete the memories of all the people who read it.
No, my goose is cooked as far as most gnomes or fairy folk are concerned. But I didn’t do it for myself, as you well know. And I’m not doing it for idle curiosity. The time for laying low is over.
Keep reading this blog and I think you’ll see why I’m speaking out at this time. And where you come in.
