The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Keeping up Appointments.

In the beginning was the Pen.

The pen was pointy

Then there was ninja.

Ninja was pointy too.

In the beginning, there was also Shifter.

but no-one had noticed Shifter

because she looked like a Pen.

So she was also pointy.

Then she looked like herself,

who hasn't any point.

So she was the only one allowed

into the balloon factory.

 

 

And so it was that, fifteen minutes after the time he had asked them to meet him at his rooms, Kikuyu and Degorram found Ozymandias sitting at his desk, buried up to his waist in crumpled balls of parchment, planted in front of truly staggering towers of empty sake cups, empty coffee cups, and empty mugs of hot choclate, and underneath a cloud of smoke that was almost too thick to see through (a wisp of which was just then slithering stealthily out of a still-lit pipe to join its extended family), clutching the above manuscript protectively in one hand, and quill in the other, as he snored softly.

 

The fact that he was running in his sleep they politely decided to keep to themselves.

 

 

The End*.

 

 

 

My Ladies, I wish I could write as well as you, or had a heart big as each of you do. It's an honor to be here with you.

 

Congratulations again on a terrific QQ, and on moving up in the world. :dragon:

 

 

 

*No Ozymandiases were harmed in the making of this promotion post.**

 

**Wyvern, however, caught fire. Twice.

 

He's healing nicely.
