Clean-Up Duty in the Dungeons
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 24614
|
Fred headed directly for the dungeons. His Quest to slay the DragonCow
had been foiled, and he wondered if he'd ever make it to the rank of
Knighthood. The benevolent bovine was proving trickier to kill than Fred
had thought it would be! But for now it was time to report to the dungeon
keeper...
"Three days of clean up duty!?Ah, c'mon! I always get clean up duty!" There were many jobs and tasks to fill in the dungeon, but somehow Fred always landed this position. The dungeon keeper handed Fred a bucket of water and a mop, a sinister grin planted on his disfigured face. "We got a messy one in cell 34," he said. "Lil' bugger lost control o' his bowels before I was done with him. He was a squeeler, that one. We've had quite a few squeelers today actually, compared to the moaners . Usually the ratio is the other way around. They all bleed the same though, eh!? HAHAHAHA! " Fred grimaced and slowly backed away. The dungeon keeper had always disturbed him, especially when he made attempts at small-talk. "Hahaha, they certainly do," he replied uneasily, giving the dungeon keeper a good natured nudge in the ribs. The keeper, in turn, grabbed Fred by the neck and lifted him into the air. "DON'T TOUCH ME," he warned, murderous rage mirrored in his one good eye. He released his grip on the Lord of Suffex and acted as if nothing had happened. "Well, I better get back to the pits. Gots me a Hespaniard with tight lips. We'll see how tight they are when I'm done with him! HAHAHA! Take care!" He turned and walked away.Fred was on his knees and still gasping for breath. I shouldn't have touched him! he thought ruefully. Everyone knows that! GOD! I'm so stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! And now I've only got one more chance to become a Knight! He gathered up his cleaning supplies and ventured deeper into the damp and shadowy dungeon, toward cell 34...
