Three Word Thursday #12

Welcome to Three Word Thursday #12. This week, joining the quondam word-list, we have paladin, intransigent, & invidious. We also have a whole list of perspicacious writers.  If you enjoy reading my story, leave a comment then click on the names of the other players and go see how they used the words. You’ll be entertained (and possibly educated) all at once.

Copper Dreams

The  intransigent corpses stood around him in a circle.  Slowly, in unison, each one’s right arms raised.  They pointed at Copper, staring.  Though their lips didn’t move, Copper heard their invidious voices.  Why was he sleeping when they’d not yet been avenged?  He was their paladin.  Why did he rest?  Their killer still lived and even now was likely planning his next murder, yet the paladin slept.  Had they chosen the wrong champion?  Why did this one not fight for them?

One-by-one they stepped forward.  Each of them looked Copper in the eye and asked their question, “When will I be avenged?”

No zombies were harmed in the writing of this post.
