|
It was a warm spring night when a fist knocked at the door so
|
||||||
|
hard that the hinges bent.
|
||||||
|
A man opened it and peered out into the street. There was
|
||||||
|
mist coming off the river and it was a cloudy night. He might
|
||||||
|
as well have tried to see through white velvet.
|
||||||
|
But he thought afterwards that there had been shapes out
|
||||||
|
there, just beyond the light spilling out into the road. A
|
||||||
|
lot of shapes, watching him carefully. He thought maybe
|
||||||
|
there'd been very faint points of light...
|
||||||
|
There was no mistaking the shape right in front of him,
|
||||||
|
though. It was big and dark red and looked like a child's
|
||||||
|
clay model of a man. Its eyes were two embers.

water troll
|
||||||
|
It wasn't that the troll was _horrifying_. Instead of the
|
||||||
|
rotting, betentacled monstrosity he had been expecting
|
||||||
|
Rincewind found himself looking at a rather squat but not
|
||||||
|
particularly ugly old man who would quite easily have passed
|
||||||
|
for normal on any city street, always provided that other
|
||||||
|
people on the street were used to seeing old men who were
|
||||||
|
apparently composed of water and very little else. It was as
|
||||||
|
if the ocean had decided to create life without going through
|
||||||
|
all that tedious business of evolution, and had simply formed
|
||||||
|
a part of itself into a biped and sent it walking squishily up
|
||||||
|
the beach. The troll was a pleasant translucent blue color.
|
||||||
|
As Rincewind stared a small shoal of silver fish flashed
|
||||||
|
across its chest.
