A short story, that is… weird.
It all started out easy enough, sewing the crops on that warm October night. My name is Barbicts. I was working with my dad, Gulliver is his name. He has a big, strong build with blue, sparkling eyes and a big bushy mustache and brown hair. My mother was in the house working. The lord of our manor was coming over to check-up on us. So my mother, Samantha by name, (she was a blonde-haired plump woman with green eyes and a smile that you would fall in love with the minute you saw it) was in a frenzied rush to get our smoky, dark cottage as warm, clean, and as aired-out as possible. The peasants on Lord Duncan’s manor were not treated with first class service, but we could get by.
When my dad and I were done with planting the crops we went inside and helped my mother clean our house.
“DONE!!!” exclaimed my mother just as a knock on the door came to our ears. “Ooh, that was close! I think we are ready!”
So Gulliver, my dad, went over and answered the door
“Hello, Lord Duncan!” said my dad.
“Hello Gulliver!” Duncan said with a fake cheerfulness in his voice “How is your family?”
“Oh, just great!” my mom said as she motioned Lord Duncan to sit down. I sat in the corner watching Duncan. I never really liked him. So I shot him. Then we all got executed. Bummer. It sucks to be a peasant. The end. I bet you thought there was something involving a chest, huh? Maybe some treasure, or perhaps a small man, like a gnome. Or some gardens. Filled with gnomes. Yeah. Well there isn’t. That’s because I didn’t want to finish writing this, so I just tacked on this lame ending. Goodbye!
