That thing is ravaging my garden again. "Don't feed the troll", they say, but I can't stop it from reaching the garden. Maybe I should build a stronger fence like my neighbors, they don't seem troubled at all. Guess I am an easy target...
Today I bought the materials, I'm reading the manual about building walls, it doesn't seem that hard while I'm reading. I have another piece of land where I can start anew.

It's actually a lot harder once we start, building the wall. I avoid the encounters with the troll, I can't imagine the state of the old garden, don't want to, I closed the curtains the day I decided to work on the new garden. It's raining today, so there's not much to do.
I guess I will stay home.

The strangest thing happened yesterday, a well dressed man came at my door with a peeled orange and said:
-This orange is blue
Which clearly is wrong, so I said "no sir, this orange is orange" to which he replied:
-I know this orange is an orange, but it's color is blue
I insisted and told him that the color is also orange. He denied fiercely and started to shout at me, called me stupid for not seeing what is obvious, then his teeth grew and his skin turned green. Turns out it was a troll that took human form, I closed the door before he could continue. To what extent they must go? What was the point of that?

I took a peek at my old garden, it was unscratched apart from the damage it had already endured. I know that monster feeds on frustration, but it is so hard to protect what I care by stop caring about it.

I have peace for some time now, I finished the wall and started another garden, the old troll appeared but the new wall is so tall I could only hear it screaming in agony, no damage done.

A terrible disaster, they invaded my home. My safe place! How did they get access? I should never have open the door for that stranger troll, he must have found a way to get in and called a party.
But I know their weakness, I have to look away, they can't touch me. It's hard though, it's my home they're trying to destroy. Oh no! they got my treasure. They will break it! Someone help!
:Crash noise:
More trolls!?
- Did we heard a call for help?
My neighbors! They're destroying everything, but most important, they took my treasure!
- Don't worry, we will take care of that.
A few minutes later, the neighbors expelled the trolls, they got the treasure back before it was broken. I don't know what I would do if those monsters had broke it. I guess sometimes we need to call for help.
