This is a stand alone freewrite, although it does follow on from "Jelly". To start at the beginning click here.
Mike continued to suck his finger until the pain eased enough for him to take a look. The fingernail had indeed been ripped off. But it wasn't bleeding. Much. He pulled the doily he had stolen from the Jelly's church and wrapped the finger in it, as a form of rather crap bandage. It fell off a couple of times, until he worked out how to use the holes to tie it all together.
He sat back and watched the walls slip by. He thought the gondola was moving more quickly. Good. He thought it probably wasn't going to be a good destination, but he wanted to get it over with.
And he hoped the Jellys would be there so he could punch both of them. Hard.
He noticed a little brass plaque on the side of the gondola. "Solitude". Was that the name of the boat? Was that some kind of commentary on his current position? It was funny, but he didn't feel alone at the moment. Aside from the buzzing of the water wasps he could feel through the bottom of the boat, he could see little animals on the banks. He wasn't sure what they were. Sort of rabbits, or squirrels, perhaps...
