Black Clack


Elbert Clack was a strange man. Very tall, with a thin frame, extremely pale skin and a long, pointed nose. He had a small chin, deep-set eyes and high forehead, which gave him an even more odd appearance. Jet black spiky hair topped off his novel look, not that anyone would notice.

Dressed all in black, he pulled on a black balaclava and then fed his long, spindly-fingered hands into a pair of black leather gloves. He then put on a helmet and headed to the top of the track and waited to start.

Elbert Clack was a skeleton rider.

    lovely I have a feeling I and Elbert would have become real good friends had we met 🙂

      Really Soma? Elbert’s happy to hear it but he doesn’t tend to make friends easily… he spends too much time on his ski-thing!
