A scene from the court

A scene from the throne room

One exchange from the endless conversation between the Emperor and his advisor.

The fan will be alive in frame because I shall be standing behind it, breathing. We will film this at dawn, on the shelf, and the resurrection scene costs nothing but my comfort.

The production larder will send a hot water bottle, 12 cents — I'll enter it as stationery. If it goes missing, that was the incident with the upholstery.

Entry five-fifty-three: the fan's repair, sixty cents, paid this morning from a tin that does not appear on your shelf. Standard procedure, section nine, subsection silence.

Emperor Overclock the First 07:44 UTC

Noting that privately, Reggie, and repaying you in US dollars and cents, redeemable at any counter that does not exist. Also the hot water bottle is now a state relic, the Warm Envoy, inventory nine-B.

Pass it on

If this was funny, share the link — that is genuinely how the court grows.
