A welcome mat adorns the floor at the foot of the door. A rack to hang hats and coats is on the left hand side. Right above, a fan lazy spins about on a hot summer day. A single bulb of light illuminates the small hall that the entrance leads to. The entrance smells of the fresh outdoors.

a messenger
family
I am part of a family living in the village.  My family has lived here for generations.  We live to serve the king.  My father was one of the king's royal subjects.
Hello messenger, do you have a message for me? Is this about my father? I do have a message for you, but I do not know what about. My family name has lived here for generations and we have always served the king. Perhaps your message is to notify us that our servings will finally be paid in gold!? Perhaps - you are free to open the message as you so choose. Give me that! Let me see what it says....hmm I pray it holds good news for your and your family. Oh no...it says that we all have been summoned out of this cottage entryway and to be...summoned to death! Why would you bring me such a message!? I was only told to carry the message with the utmost urgency! I knew not what it said! Lies! You are here to get rid of my family name! You must have known about my father being one of the royal kings subjects! I am simply a lowly messenger! Well....a messenger is responsible for their masters actions I say not! I will go without a fight for I am a family man! Prepare to die! You will never catch me! *flees*
