Wonderlust ., the Moose
A Fantasy Novel
by me
In a pit there lived a wild, squidgy moose named Wonderlust .. Not a moist breezy, scrawny pit, filled with stamps and a tender smell, nor yet a derelict, cold, giant pit with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a moose-pit, and that means shelter.
One day, after a troubling visit from the troll dwuw ., Wonderlust leaves his pit and sets out in search of three tall bees. A quest undertaken in the company of ghosts, youths and carefree goblins.
In the search for the troll-guarded bees, Wonderlust . surprises even himself with his diligence and skill as a doctor.
During his travels, Wonderlust rescues a piano, an heirloom belonging to dwuw. But when dwuw refuses to try walking, their friendship is over.
However, dwuw is wounded at the Battle of the Somme and the two reconcile just before Wonderlust engages in some serious walking.
Wonderlust accepts one of the three tall bees and returns home to his pit a very wealthy moose.
