As Tom flipped through his mail, he hesitated when he came to a thick parchment envelope, intricately addressed with gold trim. This was certainly not a bill.
Breaking open the wax seal, Tom pulled forth a hand-inked letter in an elegant cursive, with the type of curls that indicated a tremendous sense of self-worth.
“Dear Thomas Pendergraph,” the letter began, “Your presence is requested in the royal palace on the fifth of December…”
Tom scanned to the bottom of the correspondence. It was signed by the Emperor.
He tossed the letter into the trash bin with the other junk mail.
