Golas
The young gnome awoke when his pillow stirred beneath him, and Golas quickly sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. As he crawled out of the burrow on hands and feet, he suddenly saw the sun shining down on him.
He rarely got to go to the surface during daytime, and now that he saw it looked so pretty he wondered why.
Not for long though, as his tummy started making funny sounds. He looked around for something to eat, but couldn't find anything. The gnome was a bit thirsty too.
He walked a while looking for bread or something to grow from trees, but all he found was a really big bug. So he followed it on its way over the forest floor, until it disappeared down a tiny hole. The hole made him think of home, and suddenly he remembered people could be looking for him.
All thoughts of food and water forgotten, he ran straight ahead as far as his legs would go. Then he sat down, letting himself fall on his gnomish bottom to make the ground go "poof!".
But the whole time he sat resting and listening, he couldn't hear anyone coming. He laughed, sure as he was that he had escaped.
