The King - BENN

The King spent many months in turmoil, his reign was over

His expectant wife and child murdered in their sleep

By shadowy figures

And his people‚ abandoned

He spent his days in the company of his Canon

Fractured old men‚ whose complex talk of revenge

And distasteful obsession with the dark

Left stains on his mind

Stains‚ he could not remove

Months went by and the King

Full of contempt for anyone living outside of Sarums walls

Had a plan

He motioned to an adviser to come closer

The gaunt old man slowly drifted forwards

And pressed his ear close to the King

The King whispered his final instructions

And sat back in his chair

His Canon conferred and turned to thank their king

This would be the last time they would meet his gaze

From this moment on, their King refused all food and water

And waited.

And waited
