#356 Adventure Story- Neil Gaiman
This is a fun little piece. The narrator’s mother seems a
bit addled, or maybe just extremely naïve. For her, going down the wrong aisle
in the super market and running into an old friend would constitute a
“full-blown adventure.”
So when her son asks her about his deceased father’s curious trophy he brought back from the war, the tale she tells seem like much more
than any grocery-store run-in. Of course the story includes Pterodactyls,
Aztecs, a tony race of men and a kidnapped princess, it all seems too
fantastical to be real.
Don’t worry about it, just sit back and drink your tea.
