Sir Josh picked himself up off the floor of the dungeon where the guards had tossed him rather roughly, brushing dust and large insects and...things it's best not to think about (the place hadn't been cleaned in centuries) and surveyed his surroundings. There wasn't much to see. It was your basic dungeon--dirt walls, dirt floor, lots of vermin, horrible smells, bars, the occasional skeleton, you know, the usual. At least he wasn't chained up. "Hey!" said a voice from his right. It seemed there was another prisoner in the cell next to him. Sir Josh came closer to see the face of the other prisoner in the dim light that slanted in through a narrow window placed high on the walls. He was looking at Lord Fred! But Lord Fred was DEAD! He'd killed him himself! "What are you doing down here?" asked Sir Josh. "I'm here because I was accused of plotting to assassinate the King," said Fred conversationally. "You?" "I accidentally killed...well...um...you..." mumbled Sir Josh. "Hmmn..." wondered Fred. "It seems that we've run into each other across parallell story-lines somehow, probably because this Author thought it would be fun. Well, I was just on my way to escape through a secret tunnel; would you care to join me? Or would you rather travel alone?"
