Trojan Trickery (#Turret)
Everyone is familiar with the story of the Trojan Horse, but have you heard of the lesser known Trojan Tortoise? The idea was that after the tortoise entered the city, the Trojan soldiers hiding inside would mount an archery attack from a pop-up turret on the back shell. The problem was the invention was too lifelike and so slow that it was passed by the Trojan Horse long before ever reaching the city. Unfortunately the soldiers inside died of boredom (perhaps you can identify with them?)
If you enjoy these very short stories, you can also check out one of my earliest books – MONTY’S VERY SHORT SHORTS which includes 366 illustrated pieces (one for each day in my life of 2020).
Be well,
