Today's #flashfiction #TheWizardWhoDidntLikeAnyone

“It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Superman!”

       If waffles could talk, I wonder what they would say? Probably “I beg of you, please don't eat me, I'll do anything. I have a wife and two dough children at home!” Anyway onto the flash fiction!

The Wizard Who Didn't Like Anyone

       Once there lived a wizard who didn't like anyone. This very wizard gained much attention though because of how powerful he was and also because of what he did right before he passed from the mortal plane.
       He sealed something in chest beneath his castle within a dungeon. He cast curses and laid traps all through the dungeon to protect the chest with the most powerful magic he could muster. For good measure he threw in some monsters too.
        Naturally this sparked the curiosity of many and near countless people, wizards, adventurers, and many others went into the dungeon to get the chest. They all wanted to get whatever the wizard stashed away inside. What could justify such protection that the last action the wizard took before he died was to seal it away?
        Many, many died in the dungeon. Failure and failure to get the chest. Though this served as fuel to the fire. Added mystery, value and an elusive quality. More and more came, more and more perished within.
        But inevitably someone succeeded and found out what the wizard who didn't like anyone put in the chest. An expired coupon. A fitting gift from the wizard.
