Greg's Temporary Desk

So I know you're wondering, who is this Greg character? The more important question, however, is why does Greg have a temporary desk? In no less than 250 words, I will tell you.

When the mantle of Middle Earth was formed nearly 700,000 years ago and he who shall not be named rose from its molten depths in search of forlorn lovers Edward and Bella, there was foretold a prophesy. This prophesy spoke of one desk. One desk to rule them all. Enter Greg. As the son of two wise Elderin Elves, Greg was happy with his permanent desk. It was elbaborately decorated, ornate, and magnificent to view. Townspeople spoke of its opulent furnishings and travelers ventured form far and wide to gaze upon its splendor. It was even rumored that the desk contained, deep within it's mahogany framing, magical healing powers that could restore health to the sickest, or cure even the meanest case of carpal tunnel. And so Greg was happy. Happy until the day the Morlocks rose from the underworld and removed Greg's desk, piece by piece. Greg was powerless to stop them of course and found little solace in a cruel and hostile, desk-stealing world. Greg slipped into a deep depression, wallowing in the mire of his own defeat, mourning the loss of his 'precious'. But all was not lost, for the townspeople built Greg a new desk, a temporary stand-in that would, at the very least, provide for Greg a safe harbor, a respite in the storm that was his search for redemption, for retribution.
