This is both funny and terrifying. On the one hand, it’s amusing that all they needed to do was entertain the Ciannait, and it’s nice to have a peaceful resolution to such a violent issue. On the other hand, they still don’t know how to kill the Ciannait, so if the court jester ever fails to entertain the creature then it will just murder him and no one will have any way to stop it.
How to Slay a Monster is one of my favorite stories because it leaves open so many possibilities. I had a lot of fun writing this, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Who knew the court jester was so important?

You are our very own Scheherazade 💜
Scheherazade is one of my favorite stories.
He was a quick thinker for sure - besides what did he have to loose by trying!
If only I had known that about monsters when I was a kid and terrified of them.
Do we need to become a monster to defeat a monster?
Good hearts and clever minds prevail.
Certainly a different twist.
Thanks, Dan. I had fun writing this story.
Somewhat different. Very entertaining
Thanks, Clarke. I'm glad you enjoyed How to Slay a Monster.
Make a monster your friend day is catching on. 😉 Enjoyed it.
Thanks Mark. I wish I had known this about monsters when I was a kid. I would have had fewer nightmares.
Great story, Bill. And a good metaphor for finding peace through understanding and being responsive to others.
Thank you, Dascha. Understanding and thoughtfulness are very important.
An easy answer to life’s problems, if that was possible! 😀👍
Oh yes!
