For countless millennia, the dwarves of the have defended the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Many and varied foes have hurled themselves against the portal and died attempting to breach it. No man or beast has ever succeeded. Until now. . . Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith labors contentedly in the land of Ionandar, the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. Although he does not want for friends, Tungdil is very much aware that he is alone -- indeed, he has not so much as set eyes on another dwarf. But all that is about to change. Sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a battle for which he has not been trained. Not only his own safety, but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends upon his ability to embrace his heritage. Although he has many unanswered questions, Tungdil is certain of one thing: no matter where he was raised, he is a true dwarf. And no one has ever questioned the courage of the Dwarves.

High School Fun Bavarian Fun A Few Limericks and poems Chuck Hickey is 81 years of age and many years retired. He has written for the enjoyment of his co-workers for many years. Countless limericks, poems, and short adventures of a sort, mostly in a humorous vein. I reside with my wife, Jet, and our beloved doggie, Tinabelle, near Kyle, Texas. Many years ago I joined an online adult cribbage league. Eagle's League is a member of Case's leagues (POGO) and we play our games in POGO, Cribbage, Four player, Social, Four Square room. As you will see, I ,Pup, have taken this zany bunch through many adventures, and they have responded well, clamoring for more and more. A great bunch to portray, really. Naval Fun was submitted to a short story contest, was accepted, and has been published. The others are all new to the public. If you like these stories, or, better yet, if you like these characters, join us in Four Square, and we'll even sign you up, if you like. You'll have a blast. These people are every bit as nutty as they're portrayed.
