Description
If you like calm, sensible,
fluffy stories, then
GO AWAY!
Because this is a story about a LUMP OF ROCK!!
The dialogue is not very interesting because lumps of rock don't talk!
I bet you didn't know that. I bet you thought all the rocks and little stones chatted amongst themselves when you were not around.
Well, it's not true.
But here are 22 things that are true:
2 An obelisk is a piece of rock. A long thin pointy piece of rock.
4 The planet EEENO is just a piece of rock floating in space.
6 A parallel universe is really another-other piece of rock, just like the other piece of rock, but in the wrong place.
8 An author is just a piece of rock with a laptop.
10 Nell Smith had a dog, called Spot. Spot used to leave little rocks all around the garden. Little smelly rocks.
12 An obelisk is a big, fat, dumb, French comic-strip character.
14 Nico's favourite rock group is the Red Hot Chili Pebbles.
16 My mum's favourite actor was Rock Hudson.
18 He had rocks in his head.
20 So did my mum.
22 So do you.
