Fin-Gnomely Day At Work

Today the gnome travelled to work with me afterschool without telling me. He climbed into my work bag and spent the day there. He was hoping to take a great adventure throughout the halls of my school, but found that my work bag is enclosed in my locker the entire day. The afternoon came around and he was lifted into the air and hoisted on my shoulder. We rode the bus all the way to Ace Hardware. While I was putting my headset on, he slipped out of my bag and proceeded on an adventure. He travelled around the plumbing and slide down tubing like a fire pole. He dumped out our buckets of nails and screws when he tried scaling the side of them. He dared to venture near the dreaded mouse trap display, managing only to set one off. He constructed a castle of paint cans, and confused the heck of out a floor worker named Butch when he got the joy of cleaning it up. The gnome wandered throughout our store for an entire five hours. He began to grow tired at eight o'clock, so he stumbled into my bag just before I picked it up and headed home.
