First, it was Mr. Giggles and Clown from Lessons 1 and 2, and now gnomes!  This novelette is different from Michael Crane's drabble and slice of life collections. I will never be able to look at the Travelocity commercials in the same way. Pat is woken up by a desperate phone call from his best friend, Spencer, about being attacked by gnomes.  He heads over to see what help he can provide; taking along his trusty baseball bat. He arrives to find a distraught Spencer needing sleep, so Pat stays while his friend gets some shut eye. Pat drifts off himself, and then is awakened by Spencer's screams for help. When he enters the bedroom, little angry gnomes are jumping all around the room. The visual image of gnomes bouncing on Spencer's chest made me giggle.  I felt like Pat trying to sort out the whole story. I learned it is a good idea not to do things that will make gnomes angry. You will enjoy how Pat tries to play the peace maker between these furious gnomes and his best friend. Is this all real, or a crazy dream?  GrabA Gnome Problem (a novelette)to find out.
