Love’s Bounty

On the first day of Al’s new life, he learned of his new lifestyle: he was to be a traveling companion. Never one to set out on adventures previously, Al quickly became nervous. Of course, he’s only about two inches tall, and could easily get lost out in the world. Once he was set inside his owner’s purse, Al had no idea where he was going. Any time he climbed up and tried to get a view outside, he would fall back down before could see.

It turned out that Al’s first journey was a trip to Half Price Books. An avid reader himself, Al spotted the novel Love’s Bounty in the clearance section, and requested he take this novel home. After all, it reminded him of a painting truly worthy of a romance novel, which features Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day in a pose much like the above cover.
