A 55 word fic written for Challenge 001  at great_tales 

"If you even breathe a word of what you've heard here, then I hope Gandalf will turn you into a spotted toad and fill the garden full of grass snakes."



Once Bitten...

“Die, you filthy thing! DIE!”

The Gaffer hobbled over to discover the cause of such bloodthirsty violence in his usually gentle son.  

“Sam, my lad, it’s just a grass snake.”

“Oh, I know, dad. I know!”

Gaffer Gamgee shook his head.   Not even left for Buckland yet, and his Sam already showed signs of cracking.
