"David made his decision then and there. He did not like this ugly little troll. He never asked Tamaru to come home with him and live in his house. He never wanted any of this. David decided he was going to bury Tamaru, and that would be the end of the troll. So, that is what he did. What David didn't know was that trolls don't stay buried."
