Mike squinted in the bright "sun"light. He blinked. The creatures weren't squirrels, or rabbits, he realised. They were little men, garden gnomes in fact.

He blinked again, and shook his head. They were moving too. They seemed to be either elaborate robotic thingies or actual living beings.

And they were gardening.

One of them seemed to be mowing the carpet on the edge of the canal. Another was digging. A third lent on a broom and waved at Mike as he drifted past. Mike raised his uninjured hand in greeting.

"Hello!" the gnome called. "You off to visit HIM are you?"

"What?!" Mike called back.

"HIM!" the gnome said.

Mike didn't know what to say other than, "What?" again.

Is Mike really microdosing LSD, and *thinks* the gnomes are talking?  It would be a great twist

yes! And I also want to know why Mike raised an "uninjured" hand. Was his other hand injured, and how? Or was "uninjured" just a descriptor of his hand not necessarily implying the other is injured?

You need to go back a few "episodes". Check out [Ouch!](https://steemit.com/freewrite/@felt.buzz/ouch-jelly-17-another-original-snippet-of-irrelevance-for-the-freewrite-challenge) to find out what gets injured and there is a link at the end of that episode to the next one that will tell you what did it...

Thank you by the way!

Oh my, who the heck is him! I have to pay attention and make sure I don't miss the next series! I feel that I'm so far behind on everything. Vacations are good but you have so much reading to catch up on LOL. This is undervalued so I am sharing.
