HISS FM #21

I arrived at the castle to find Louise waiting for me. “Come” she said, and led me by the hand, to where Gideon was lying, sprawled on the floor, 8 foot long, in his American football gear.
“It really hurts,” he rumbled.
“Where?”
“They’re everywhere” he pulled up his shirt revealing numerous abdominal herniae.
“How did you…?”
Louise had placed her hands on two of the breaches
“Oooh that’s….. ooooh” he sighed, almost sobbed with relief.
“Shall I?”
I took a rupture in each hand and stroked gently.
Gideon was soon fast asleep.
“What happened?” I asked.
