Killing The Troll

Three Hearts And Three Lions, CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO.

Problem: The troll's wounds heal instantly. Its severed limbs crawl back and reattach themselves to the torso. Even its severed head rolls back. So how to kill it?

Solution: Cut off body parts and throw them into a fire. The ashes do not reassemble.

For a longer account from nearly ten years ago, see Troll.

We approach the novel's climax and Holger's apotheosis. Only two CHAPTERs and one NOTE left to go, on pp. 146-156. Meanwhile, on Earth Real, I await a pause in the rain at which point I will walk into town. Blogging happens in a real life context.

After Holger's adventure, a brief return to the Old Phoenix, I think.
