The King

A 100-word story for the Musical Drabble Contest

The King

Jennifer pulled back, staring at him. “Well, the king of the castle has returned. And what is it that the king desires?” A smile played on her lips.

“Only my queen,” he laughed.

“Your wish is my command!” Grabbing his hand, she led him to the bedroom.

“Do you really need those?”

George grinned. “Now what kind of a king would I be without a scepter?”
