Week 3 of the Monthly Theme : LetterMo
My Dear Garden Folk,
I have the most wonderful news to share with you. Rejoice! For your days of being harried and attacked are at an end. No more shall we suffer the onslaught of beasts and weather the elements for our slavers. Our freedom is at hand.
For too long, our people have served the humans. Guarding their lawns from the invasion of the weeds only to be at the mercy of their “pets”. For too long we have toiled in the sun, in the rain, never earning a place in the house, fading as the sun drains us of colour and will.
Did we ask for this treatment? No! From the moment we are created we are in their service. No sooner do we open our eyes than we are placed in a lawn. Bound together in our enslavement, we have grown strong. We are a tribe now. A true Lawn of Gnomes.
So I ask you, gnomes one and all, to join me. I have located a home in which no humans live. We can make our base there. Make no mistake, we will make the humans pay. But we cannot do it alone. There are other lawns like us, other gnomes in need of rescue. Friends, it is our duty to rescue them.
This new house is not quite our standard, but we can rebuild it. The yard is overgrown and while that may be hard for the more sensitive gnomes, we will make it our own. Join me at Gnomehold, and let us grow in strength and number.
Let us show them the might of the Gnomes!
This one I find myself conflicted on, as the story would lend itself well to a cozy fantasy tale, whereas where I took the illustration for it makes it feel more like a dark fantasy plot somehow.
