The Boy of the Big Shoes, Chapter three

Chapter three The boy of the large shoes walked by the wall of the great castle, fingering his paper holder. It was a great castle indeed, with ten moats, one-hundred walls (or so they say, no one’s ever actually counted them), a kitchen one hundred meters long (no one’s measured this, since no one’s ever actually been in the castle), and the throne room of made of solid gold. Anyways, he was walking past the hundredth wall while he saw a gate in the castle wall, well more of a door, one would say. Anyways he stopped to examine this particular door. It was a small door, made of some sort of wood, very old by now. One could still see the intricate carving in the wood if one looked closely, which, by the way, was the royal crest. It also had a small gold handle, with one small red jewel hammered into the center of it. Below the handle was a small keyhole. Below the keyhole was written, “Ye who is bored, insert here above here.” --C.K.

  1. Ha, ha, ha! One hundred walls, but no one has actually counted them (as if one hundred were a number too massive to attempt counting to); and yet his is mentioned as walking by the ONE HUNDRETH wall, which, of course, implies that SOMEONE had to count them SOMETIME in order to know which wall it was.
    Love the random, confusing effect: Reminds me of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. :P
    Keep up the good work!
