Spindlewheel Stories

The belltower of that dreadful church is the first landmark to break the horizon on the return trip across the river. He spends every waking minute straining his ears to hear its bell over the choppy waves, the groaning wood, and the whining passengers. But even that is not a comfort, but the promise of even more dull-eyed figures desperately waiting to rush his boat and shriek if he so much as pauses to stretch his aching back.
Just imagine if he could take a break. That crooked spine pulled straight and tall, those straining muscles at rest, a peaceful smile on his face. I really think he deserves it, y'know? He works too hard.
I think I could help him. I mean, there are only two shores to a river, right? How hard could it be?
