Vivat Regina// Long live the Queen

One of the winning entries from That's So Scripted, Sabha’s newly initiated creative ten-line play-writing competition.

the king is dead/

jagged lightning splits the sky;/

rain pours./

waves crash against the cliffs the castle stands on/

the cliffs your castle stands on./

frankincense permeates your mourning robes./

the king, your king, is dead./

but you know that, do you not? /

after all, you killed him./

long live the queen.
