“Pull my
finger.”
Miss Manners*
Hanged with CJ the whole weekend. I kinda did pretty horrid at the Pokemon tournament. Had a lot of fun, but got last place. CJ did much better though. I do also feel inspired to try even crazier and wackier tactics next time I go to a video game one, though so far it seems my wacky tactics seem to fair better at the card game. (Even then I'm not perfect at that. Maybe my wacky schemes will pay off in both eventually. If I'm going to win I'm going to do it with style.) Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Kingdoms
and Their Numbers
There were
several kingdoms named by the number of their relationships in a
great war.
The first
kingdom was conquered by the second kingdom. The second kingdom
divided the first kingdom into two, one part to give to its ally the
third kingdom. But a revolution came and all the kingdoms came
together into one fourth kingdom under a single crown. A fifth
kingdom came from the far north and conquered the fourth kingdom
making a new sixth kingdom from those two combined. A seventh even
larger one came and ate up those two like a cat would eat a mouse.
Then an eighth did the same. Then internal revolution inside these
lands made ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth kingdoms thereafter.
But after the
twelfth kingdom they stopped numbering kingdoms. Because then they
had to start numbering the democracies. And many numbered democracies
came to be just as many numbered kingdoms came to be.
