Seit ich vor 3 Jahren den Thron nach dem Ableben meines Vaters bestiegen hatte, war nichts Erwähnenswertes geschehen. Mittlerweile war ich 24 Jahre a...lt. Ein normales Alter um König zu werden.Die üblichen Probleme und Streitigkeiten meiner Bürger mussten seither von mir entschieden werden. So auch heute.Ich saß auf meinem verzierten Stuhl aus poliertem Ahornholz am Ende meiner Empfangshalle. Die Bezeichnung „Halle“ ist vielleicht etwas irreführend. Eigentlich war es nur ein 10 Meter langer Raum. Thatseems very reasonable, although I confess my assessment may be biased.A few years ago, a young man was apprehended entering the country witha carload of cannabis-one actual automobile, chock full from stem tostern with bales and bales of marijuana. The border patrol hauled himinto court, and the judge heard his silly tale. "For my own personaluse", he said. "I'll just smoke it all my self." Patently ridiculous.But wait - where was the evidence to the contrary? The police did notcatch him. "I guess I felt that no one really loves me and I'm just not as important as other people. All I want is to be recognized as a person. I was always playing second fiddle to our older sister. She was so perfect! I made a bad choice in marrying Bud. No one ever threw it in my face that I could tell, but I felt it just the same. I guess I may have picked on you because you were younger, and then you married Nicky and he is such a great guy. I envy you! I guess I envy a lot of people. This has. It turned out badly so I’m single again.”“I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but I’m glad you’re single again.”“Yeah, so am I. What do you think? Want to try something else tonight?”She smiled slyly, “Will it hurt?”“Maybe… maybe not.”“Oh, I hope so. I love sex when it hurts. I bet you want to fuck my ass, don’t you…unless you’re into S and M?”George moved quickly, retrieving some lengths of rope he had hidden under the bed. He tied her wrist using an anchor bend he remembered from his scouting.
