The Wheel Will Turn - by Elwen of the Hidden Valley
B2MeM Prompt:o72(Sandyman's Mill) Card:The Shire Number:169
Format:drabble
Genre:gen
Rating:gen
Warnings:none
Characters:Ted Sandyman
Pairings:none
Creator’s Notes (optional):
Summary:Life is just like a mill wheel.
THE WHEEL WILL TURN
Ted wished that his grand-parents had built the mill further upstream. It was said an overshot wheel was much more efficient, but without extensive digging for a leat, which the stupid folk of Bywater had firmly vetoe'd, it was impossible. Burglar Baggins had stirred up that village meeting, to be sure.
Not that there was additional grain to make such a change worthwile, but Ted fancied having the best mill in the Shire; perhaps even the only one. Wouldn't that be a step up on that meddling Baggins pair, lording from their high hill?
His day would come. Just wait.
END
