Guards! Guards! | A 100 Word Story

#861 | Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett

In the kitchen sit two guards eating their supper. They’re supposed to be keeping watch over the locked room. No one is allowed in. No one is allowed out. A rule even the guards find…confusing…

Does it mean someone is being kept in that room? If so, who? Why? These are the kinds of questions the guards talk about while eating their supper in the kitchen.

They hear a loud BOOM and the table shakes. Spilling their mugs of ale.

Without a word to each other they race to the locked room.

“Guards! Guards!” The door is wide open.
