When a Debutante Marries a Troll

The problem is, Priscilla grew up in a penthouse having parties while Biff came of age under a bridge fighting other trolls, he remembers. When Pris calls his office and says we're having guests tonight the chasm in their marriage grows. The guests go home sauced and smiling but the chasm stays behind, snarling. Biff can't make the leap to kiss Pris and some day have 10 kids. The next time she invites guests he wants to be told at dawn. Biff plans to skip feeding the pit bulls and introduce them to her guests. Donal Mahoney
