This guy has such a surprised look on his stone face, I couldn’t help but think maybe he landed in this spot unexpectedly.

I’m sick and tired of hanging around day in, day out. If I never see another pigeon, it will be too soon. And nobody ever thinks to wash my helmet anymore. It’s a fright, between the guano and dust.
I never thought I’d be in this fix. My mother warned me about being a smart ass – I should have listened. But no, I had to be the funny guy one time too often. Look where it got me.
Note to self: don’t piss off the resident wizard. Or at least if you do, make your last expression a happy one.

I like this a lot. The idea of being stuck in the same place with your last expression, without being able to express anything to any real person is quite terrifying – only you made it quite amusing.
Fun…with a lesson.
And this is why I never date wizards as a general rule
Haha! Moral: Always smiling when pissing off wizards! Very cool story! HA!
Love it. Fantasy with a moral. This is good stuff.
Alas… watch who you mess with! Well done.
Amusing. 🙂
Yes, if I had to have a last expression immortalised for all time I think I’d like something a bit more appealing than that. Well done Erin.
AnElephant chuckles again
Thank you.
Ha!ha!Loved the voice in this piece-a fun read!
Haha! Funny stuff. I suppose it would be hard to maintain a happy face when being turned to stone.
It’s kind of like messing with a writer. If you aren’t careful, they’ll put you in one of their stories.
Ha we were going the same direction in this one. Gotta watch who you piss off these days.
Oh, the guano and the dust! So this is what life comes to….
Funny story, nicely told 🙂
I enjoyed this story, Erin. We often learn lessons too late.
Lesson learned a tad too late…. 😉
Dear Erin,
You’d think, what with those wings on his hat and all, that he would have been able to out run the spell.
Oh well. Good work.
Aloha,
Doug
Dear Erin,
It does make one think twice before speaking. Nice one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
The note to self gave me a good chuckle. When death is inevitable, at least have a pleasant expression on your face.
Absolutely wonderful pay-off
Yup.. that expression caught me as well… and never piss of a wizard .. period
Cute! Lesson learned!
