RUMORS

 

 

I tightened my grip on the dwarf's throat.

"Your ring—now!"

"Why my ring?"

"I've heard it grants knowledge! Power!"

"It won't fit!"

"I've heard it fits all!" I squeezed his throat. "Give it!"

"Stop!" he rasped and stuck out his hand. "Take it!"

I pulled it from his finger and dropped him, then pushed the ring against my fingertip. It expanded, slipping easily over the knuckle.

"Ah! Now—"

The dwarf suddenly looked larger while I...I was shrinking. And the ring—it wouldn't come off!

"But—?"

The looming former dwarf leered.

"Now you know: Don't believe everything you hear."
