One moment of meaningful exhalation

[Insert words here]
         Um. Well. Indeed. Yes.
                  Thank you.
Thank you for your time.
         That is all.
                  Don’t call us. We’ll call you.
I am going to climb into my well now.
         Please do not drop pebbles on my head.
                  Not unless you hear me mum­bling to myself.

    …remem­ber to pull the rope to shut the well…that way , no pebbles , but total dark­ness, a com­plete break.( and to take a flask too )

    Down in the well. Me too. Have one treas­ured pebble in pocket. For com­fort. And to hold. Like worry beads. Only bet­ter. “My pre­cioussss”.…. (strokes pebble lovingly).

    I am gath­er­ing pebbles.

    I found a red one!

    As long as your well def­in­itely isn’t a long-drop… that wouldn’t be very good.

    what about marbles, can we drop marbles?

    I’m not sure that climb­ing into a well is an option. I think that most people fall into wells. Well, I don’t mean that most people do… I mean that, if one is to enter a well, fall­ing is the most com­mon entry tech­nique, I should think.

    Now, hav­ing cleared that up, I think you already are mum­bling to your­self (that’s what this post is about, isn’t it??)… so here come the pebbles.

    helllooooooooooooo

    is any­one down there?

    I swear i heard something.

    No i did, i am sure.

    Here lets chuck some rocks, i’ll show you.

    blueseaurchin | 09.20.07, 14:18

    Are we allowed to drop pebbles if we hear you singing? Or should we drop sweeties in stead?

    Allecsis | 09.20.07, 14:38

    While you are down there, could you please look for my fire truck toy? I dropped it in there when I was 5. It mean a lot to me. Thank you.

    Miles: Hahaha. Hahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Toru: If you would just work at the wig place with me instead of insist­ing on this writ­ing malarky… ;)

    Unre­li­able: Alright, you can come out now. *throws back your rope ladder*

    May K. | 09.21.07, 14:49

    No, I am going to keep hid­ing here, if it’s all the same to you. Yes, my feet are get­ting a bit soggy in the small level of water that was unfor­tu­nately left at the bot­tom of the well, but it’s not as bad as it could be. After all, there’s just the one foot to get wet.

    Thank you all for your com­ments. You are wel­come to join me in my well, though it might be a bit of a tight squeeze.

    If I turn on the TV, I do hope you won’t ven­ture back up from your well dwell­ing, crawl your way through my screen and do unthink­able things to my person.

    Throw­ing chil­dren down wells is against the Law.

    Poor Pebbles.

    Unthink­able things to your per­son, NAGA?

    Um, I am not that kind of blog­ger, you know.
