“Don’tlet . . . me detain you, Sergeant Keel.”
From the grey man’s perch beside the chimney, the others below looked curiously small—not men at all, but marionettes, held up and guided by invisible strings. The one with the ruler glinting in his hand moved as though more than a few of those strings had come undone; the one he measured strained against the tethers with every salute and every “sir.”
It was the second one he admired, but the first was not without his lessons. After all, even the most dangerous of fools can have a good idea.

Also, I really really like metaphors. Just sayin'. |

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

Well, forgive me. I'd rather thought we were a covert military unit, but it seems we are in fact a knitting circle.
