The Buy Troll
This giant troll sits on the top of the little shopping center in Gamleby (”Old Village”, pop. 3000) He beckons you to enter and buy; food for dinner or shoes for dancing.
The people seem to like him. Or are they afraid to disobey him?
In any case, they enter the shopping center, buy stuff and come out again. Seemingly unchanged.
“Work to buy, drive to buy
walk to buy, live to buy.
By and by it’s time to die,
bye-bye, bye-bye.”
