This week's microfiction is a 90-word story about a valiant knight and his quest to save the princess.

In the Tower

The knight galloped for seven days and nights, never resting until he reached the tower.

“Beautiful princess, I’ve come to rescue you! Let down your hair.”

At once, flowing golden locks fell from the window at the top. He climbed until he reached the top. But it was not the hair of a princess he had climbed, but the beard of a man.

“What’s this! Where is the princess?”

The man shrugged. “No princess here. I’m Geoff.”

“Oh,” said the knight. “Hi, Geoff. Do you want to hang out?”

“Sure.”
