If you don’t know what story cubes are, see the introduction to the story cubes series.
To see the original roll of the story cubes, see yesterday’s post.
It was a warm summer night in the castle. Everyone was asleep inside the tower walls, including the king. He was woken from his slumber by a sharp sting. It hurt so much he thought he’d been shot by an arrow. He jumped up and called for his guards, who looked everywhere but couldn’t find the assailant.
In a meadow, a bee flew from flower to flower, blissfully unaware that its sting a week earlier had caused the unbalancing of the world and the destruction of an entire village. C’est la bee.
In the morning, they covered the countryside looking for who had tried to kill the king the night before. In a hunter’s tent just outside the nearest village, they found a bow. They arrested everyone in the village, locked them in the dungeon, and tortured them all to try to get them to confess. None of them knew anything about it and they died at the hands of their crazed torturers.
Or, as a Vonnegut fan might say, so it goes.
