Escape Africa (14)

 

14. Ballrack:



It’s difficult to understand a troll, so many modern
misconceptions through misrepresentation that people i.e. the human race would
literally shit themselves on first contact with real life troll. I met Ballrack
in the acceptable twenty first century method of social interaction; social
media. Believe it or not I was, for lack of decency, “trolling” various forums
when I struck some juicy click-bait material. One of those sensational links
that cock-tease your cursor to scroll through the internet garbage to reach the
disappointing story page of uninteresting celebrity nonsense.
Ballrack_the_troll was a screen name; everyone online lies about the real
character right?     



Our troll friend was accidentally unearthed, literally,
during a recent anthropological excavation in Sub-Saharan Africa. Standing shy
of 20 ft Ballrack is a large southern hemisphere cave troll, he’s a few
thousand years old and unassuming in appearance. In truth our human perception
and representation of trolls physiologically is absolutely wrong. Ballrack is
at first glance a very tall looking man with proportionate features and not
discernible mutations, trolls are not the monstrous dim witted oafs illustrated
in children’s fairytales.
