Graham McEvoy
was born in 1961 in Kingshurst, Birmingham. He didn’t start writing until in
his twenties, when he began writing comedy sketches for television. In order to
help his wife raise their three children, Graham took various jobs and finally
settled in Lichfield, Staffordshire, where he decided to write children’s
stories. A Trip to Storyland is a
compilation of his work.
“Gordon,” the gnome shouted over as the mud came up to
his chest, “I have my foot caught so I can’t come over to you but if you can
grab hold of this.” Colin cast his fishing rod towards Gordon and as the line
came over Gordon reached out his arms but missed it and the line splashed into
the pond. Colin hurriedly reeled it back in.
“Gordon,” he called over again, “you must catch it.”
For the second time he cast the line to Gordon. Gordon
could barely move his arms but he was just able to catch the line.
“I’ve got it,” he yelled over to Colin, “now get me out
of here.”
Colin began to reel in as fast as he could whilst still
trying to free his foot from between the boulders but Gordon was too heavy and
Colin’s rod was beginning to creak as it bent with his weight.
“Gordon, I don’t think it’s going to work,” shrieked
over Colin, “the rod’s going to break.”
“No, keep going Colin,” bellowed Gordon, “keep going,
I’m starting to come up.”
Colin continued to reel in, CRACK! All of a sudden
Colin’s fishing rod snapped and the line that Gordon was holding went slack and
Colin fell backwards which freed his foot much to his huge relief.
Unfortunately, Gordon began to sink again in the thick dark mud. The footsteps
that they both heard were now on top of them and the dark shadowy figure placed
Gordon in total shade.
