Sh*t fire & spit bullets! Now this is what I call a story!!! Firstly it's rich in detail & facts that will help the reader in later chapters. Secondly it's entertaining. Now, I'm an Egyptology freak since 1976, and that Egyptian mention made me very happy. I don't know if it's something you thought up yourself, or something I managed to miss all this time. If you thought it up yourself, then move over Albert Einstein. Then there's the matter of poodles. Now, I own a purebred poodle who's a fine hunting dog. And some famous athlete was on a hunting show quite some years back with one as a retriever. Oops, the Goblin underestimated the mighty poodle. My "Wooky" could get her own food, if she wanted, until her eyes went. Now she follows my cat to her food bowl. Old age is hell. Keep up the good work.
