The king was dead.
It was a dark and gloomy night in the town of Huntford and the fog that covered the land almost every night had overtaken the beautiful scenery of the surroundings. A gallimaufry or birds, flies and frogs filled the bogs of Huntford. Young footsteps rang as loud drums as a boy let his tattered shoes assault the cobblestone pavement below him. He clung to a message, transcribed on a single piece of parchment, as he ran toward the castle. The boy screamed, “The king is dead! The king is dead!” With the screams of the birds and the croaking of the frogs, all of the sound in Huntford seemed to mesh with the loud recanting of the boy. It all began to sound like a crunk song. Then Silence.
He saw the king in front of him. The housemaids arrived and began to therapize the queen. Then again, silence. Not one person could believe the sight before them. It was the king, sitting on his bahookie, dead. The guards were trying to revive him, but nothing they did proved utile.
The young boy slowly walked up to the queen and handed her the message that he had been holding. She opened it. Her eyes grew larger with each and every word that her eyes drank. She dropped the letter and walked over to the cadaver of the king. She took of his crown and gave it to the boy. Her tears fell from her eyes as her husband’s kingdom fell to his son.
