Short Story Of Toad

Mortimer is fascinated by people wearing extra-long scarves, and by mid 20th century machinery. He likes being given chocolate layer cake as a reward, prefers darkness rather than light, enjoys exploring caves, is entranced by the colour yellow, loves the feel of rain on his face, and open spaces at night. Toad would rather do something self-destructive, than risk being bored. Bright lights hurt Toad's eyes, and bring his skin out in hives. Toad wants to be first in everything he does, and despises being anywhere but the top of the pecking order. Having to wait on other people, Toad hates being unable to complete his goals on his own time-line. Toad is a compulsive thrill-seeker, and is prone to tinkering with mechanical things when he is worried.
