Vincent

He went to one of his lecture theaters, which had had a guillotine placed in the center. It was being disassembled and walked out.

“How’d the execution go?” he asked a guard, carrying a long plank. There were a lot of guards around now.

“Didn’t. Girl got pulled into another dimension and ran away with her sister. Boss is peeved, I’d avoid him.”

“…Huh.”

“Are you gonna stand there? I need to get past you.”

“Oh, of course, my apologies.” Vincent stood aside and sat in a lecture seat.

His heart beat, beat, beat. A dead thought repossessed him.

Damn. Damn it all.
