PART 2 OF GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE SANDCASTLE OF DOOM!!!

GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE SANDCASTLE OF DOOM - PART 2.

Part 2 of an exclusive 12 part Mouse of Commons mini-adventure.

As Gladstone stood transfixed in fear at the sight of the creature - the ice cream wobbled ever closer towards Gladstone and the Mouse was about to turn and run (if he could manage to break the trance that seemed to have come over him). He knew that if he stayed where he was then the ice cream monster would swallow him up and a grand and illustrious career would be over before it's natural time.

Suddenly - as the ice cream got closer, however - he had second thoughts - he noticed something that he had failed to see before...

"Ollie..." he called, addressed the udulating dairy monstrosity. "Ollie - is that you over there behind the ice cream?!"

"Yes, boss..." replied the rampant dessert. "I did try and call out to you, but the ice cream seemed to distort my voice..." he explained.

Gladstone gave a sigh of relief and hurried over to help his friend, fearful that the ice cream might rapidly begin to melt and wash them both away if the didn't hurry up and eat it.

That said, it didn't take them very long to polish off the giant creamy lump of ice cream and none was wasted. Finally, once they had finished, they both lay in the sand with their feet in the air, almost unable to move.

"You know what, boss..." sighed Ollie. "We're going to have to move soon, because the sea's coming in..."

Gladstone looked up from contemplating his belly button and cast an eye to the shore. "Don't be silly, Ollie..." he chided his companion. "The tide is going OUT! We can stay here until the sun goes down, if we want to..."

Ollie was feeling a little embarrassed, to be honest, for it getting it so wrong. But then he noticed something that Gladstone hadn't seen yet...

Where the sea had been some few minutes before there now stood a large and spooky castle - a castle made almost entirely out of shells and sand...
