You timidly stepped inside the royal chambers, unnerved by the rumors of random beheadings and incoherent proclamations. Many people went for a sovereign audience and were never heard from again.
An old man sat the throne. He looked regal, not crazed, dressed in the golden robes and diamond crown of his august office. He stared sternly as, wobbling, you inched forward. In his lap sat a cat, which he stroked gently.
The man opened his mouth to speak and you dropped to one knee.
“The King has an announcement to make.”
Everyone froze as the King opened its mouth.
“Meow.”
