A sort of, 'what if someone was having a bad day', thought.
.............................................................................................
Captain Hyronemus was bored. He had been bored for about six years now, and the boredom had showed no signs of letting up. Until now, that is. He looked at the soldier standing in front of him and shook his head.
"Spearman Pilates, how long have we been at this seige?"
"Almost ten years sir."
"That is a long time to lay seige to a city, is it not." The captain sighed.
"Yes sir, a very long time."
Hyronemus leaned back in his chair and gently drummed the table with his fingers.
"And, in that very long time, do you know how many half-baked plans to take the city of Troy and finally end this war, I have heard?"
"No sir, but......."
The captain thumped the table with his fist.
"But me no buts, spearman." For the first time in ages, the captain laughed. "A giant horse? Are you mad? Is your brain stark raving, retsina addled to the point of lunacy, fr***ing demented?"
