24 - I found another key.

Some time back  I found another key  with the blue
stone  in  it,  while  I was  digging  one  of  my
holes. I went over to  Del's mom's house to put it
with the others  in a box I keep in  the old Dodge
out back there. She  has the electricity today, so
I was  going over  there anyways  to pick  up some
bread, and  also to  drop off some  ibuprofen with
her. Which was a  funny coincidence, because I got
all  these boxes  of ibuprofen  bottles from  some
elfs when they  traded them to me for  just one of
these same keys, back in  the summer when they saw
I had one.  They were super serious  about it, and
offered all  these boxes  of ibuprofen,  which was
surprising  to me  because  it was  just some  old
piece of  junk I found  in the dirt. I  guess I'll
take  it if  they're  offering. But  I find  these
blue-stone keys  all the  time, somehow. By  now I
feel a bit weird about  having a small box full of
them, when  I don't know  why they are such  a big
deal. That's  why I  hide them,  for now.  I'm not
trying  to  be a  jerk  and  keep them  away  from
whoever wants  them so badly for  some reason, and
I'm not even  trying to hold out for  a trade. I'm
just nervous about having something like that when
the centaurs  have their  eyes on  everything like
they  do.   Don't  want   to  draw   attention  to
myself. The Olds talk to each other, at least some
of them  do. So I guess  I'm not sure how  best to
get out of this now.
