BLIBBITTY BLOBATTY BLOO

Book Two

Life for Edmundo and Rosa was a dream of ecstatic love, and it seemed to go on forever, even though it was only a week long, before the war started.  The Nomadic Midgets of the East, along with their ogres and wolves, and their leader, Montiago the Questionable, an old pirate of the sea; now he pioneered in his massive coach towed by eight black horses, calling himself a Land Pirate.  The people of the East were upset with the monarchy of the West because they were taking over all of the agave land, and not allowing the East to have their traditional carnivals in the Circle Top Woods, where they sang and danced under a tender moon. 

            The Midgets trampled through towns in agave country and came upon Edmundo and Rosa’s farm.  Their only weapons were their beauty.  The clans of midgets captured them both as they ran from their burning house.  When bound and chained, the midgets pointed in awe and the leader with red face paint, heavy eyes, and a mohawk exclaimed, “Look at!  So pretty she be, must take, for Montiago’s sake will we.  Leave him.  The gods’ view be dimly grimly if him we skin.”

            Edmundo sat in his own tears turning the ground beneath him muddy and he watched Rosa fading away to the horizon, but heard her shout, “My love, don’t doubt, I shall spread my love flower for none but you!”  Edmundo was overwhelmed; his life was never his own doing.  He could not stop his sad eyes from pouring out his loneliness.  It made the mud grow and deepen.  The mud hole began collapsing upon him but he was bound and too sad to care.  As he sunk down to his neck, he screamed in a melodious tone love, “If I ever make it out of here alive, I will find you Rosa!” and he was submereged.
