For this week, the prompt for flash fiction submitted to #FairyTaleFlash is “travel or a grand adventure.” As I am currently writing a novel in which King Arthur and many of his warriors go off on a grand adventure, I thought it would be interesting to have Arthur fantasize about it here.

“King Arthur tried to focus on what his advisors were telling him – something related to taxes or the price of grain. All the high king could think of was how much he wished he could just throw his crown away, pull on his armor, and ride off on adventures with his brother.”
