Reblogged from Ritu for the Photo Prompt Challenge this week…

The Chest

I used the photo to continue and finish the story of Wilfred in the tower from last week’s prompt. I hope it makes sense, it might be a little far fetched!

Anna looked quite pleased with herself.

“Master, I think my work is complete. Check for yourself.  I used the wooden chest as you requested, but it was very heavy for us to move. It’s lucky 5 and 8 don’t ask too many questions.”

Her master, a wizened old man, looked on. “Good. I knew I could count on you, Anna. How old is he?”

“I’m not too sure, but I think 18-19 at the most.”

He went over to the chest and opened the three latches. Lifting the lid he gazed down at the body that lay within. Yes, a nice young specimen, perfect for the procedure.  It had been so successful over the many years, he didn’t forsee a problem this time either.

He dismissed Anna and went back to his table to prepare.
