King George II © 2005 by Bob Miller
Even though a certain Mr. Murphy had not yet been credited with what would soon be known forevermore as Murphys Law, he was on hand. A problem that no one had anticipated soon popped up. The little king hated the day-to-day job of being king. To his credit, he had tried to make it clear to everyone that all hed ever done or wanted to do was smoke locoweed and party. But his father, who had once been a king, was determined to find something his son could do. One of the guards who supplied the little king with his supply of locoweed, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that when questioned by one of the old kings friends, a guy with Big Hals Mud Company, an alias for a large band of mercenaries who had put a lot of coins in the little kings treasure chest, said that the little king complained to the Big Hal guy that he wasnt having any fun. This guard alleged that the Big Hal guy replied, Ive known all along that you set the standard of insanity for the whole world, but being this irresponsible comes as a surprise. Either you get things going as planned or youll end up as part of a mudpack. Now talk about a lucky break. A man who the little kings father had cheated in a secret business arrangement was plotting his revenge. Somehow this black knight presumed hurting anyone who was a member of this kingdom would also hurt the old king and his worthless son. He couldnt have been more wrong. At the exact moment that the little kings popularity was hovering just above zero and the boys at Big Hal were getting ready to give the little king a facial, this revenge plan was carried out. Hoping the little king could somehow capitalize on this deed, his handlers rushed him to the scene. The Big Hal organization and the others who had chipped in and paid nine wizards to cast a spell so the little king would get the job couldnt have been more surprised or delighted. For possibly the first time in his life, the little king was doing what no one on earth could do better. He stood among the heroes of the day and siphoned off every drop of glory that was humanly possible. There was no way for the members of the kingdoms around the world to have known that the little king was just getting started |
