his ankle hurt, and he felt himself being swung in an arc towards the steel struts of the bridge. His head hit and everything went black. When he opened his eyes, he realised that he was still alive. Only now he had a sore head and his ankle hurt. He was resting on his back on a support under the bridge below, he could see the dark, cold water reflected in the street lighting. Other than the wind whistling under the bridge. It was very still, almost peaceful. He jumped when he saw two large eyes staring at him. What? He exclaimed nervously. I'm Kapil! I'm a troll! I took you by the ankle and swung you in. This is my bridge, the little creature said in a posh, educated English accent, the accent through Brian for a minute as he stared in shock. A troll. What do you mean, a troll? He asked. The troll came closer. It was like a ball with arms, legs and a head, a large head with large eyes with dirty, mottled black hair. In fact, it was hairy, Harry, naked and dirty, and it smelt of river water. Bryan made a disgusted face and made to slide off the metal beam and into the water. A word before you go, the troll said Brian couldn't help but stare. The creature had such an improbable, refined English accent, as if guessing his thoughts. The troll gave an expressive shrug. I used to have a nice cosy bridge in Cambridge, England, near the university, but you know how it is. They put the river in a pipe, and my bridge was scrapped. Lucky I was to find a vacancy here, I can tell you. The troll chatted as if they were old friends. They've been adding bridges across the Liffey with the growth of the city, and vacancies occur as far as I know this bridges old, maybe several 100 years, Brian managed, finding his voice job rotation, the troll said, as if that explained everything.
