Idea
The Pun Tyrant
It was late on that Sunday afternoon, when it happened. I was simply walking down the street, my stomach growling by the lack of food it had received in those last few days, when I encountered this old man laying in the middle of the road. I rushed over to him and helped him stand. I could see some blocks of wood lying next to him, leaving me to wonder why such an old person would be carrying that amount of wood around.
"I...I need to get this, back to the...mansion." The man told me with difficulty, amongst the coughing.
"Let me give you a hand." I told him back, as I helped him stand "Why do you need all this wood, anyway?"
"I don`t. The family I serve wants it for the fire. Now, if you`ll excuse I should get carrying..."
"Please, don`t. I don`t mean any offense, but you cannot handle it."
"I`m afraid I have no choice. My contract ends next month, but until then, I`m that family`s servant, I have to obey them."
I couldn`t help but feel pity for the poor man. I picked up a few blocks of wood, hoping to at least that way be able to be helpful to that unfortunate person.
