Intro to my new short. Landed publication in a magazine recently.

As Tiberius held the Earthworm master’s vermillion chaperone, he understood he’d never again have the honour. He struggled with its prodigious liripipe which constantly threatened to unravel in his arms as they conveyed him through Poe Street on the float-like platform supported by their ten strongest teenagers. He envisaged how it’d all play out, how in a moment they’d set the throne down and he’d pass the cowl over his master’s shoulders. His body thrilled under his own Earthworm attire at the thought of peering into the fool’s face one final time.

It's only 3k words. If anyone wants to read it, just say. Thanks.
