A mini story by Martha Cecilia Rivera.
Everybody across the kingdom can remember the rival when he occupied the throne. It occurred before Mo became a king, and some people think that it was awful. Some others think it was awesome, opinions vary. What’s important is that the rival is no longer at the throne, and that makes him embarrassed. In the past, other kingdoms had monarchs who remained in power, Caesar, Ivan, Benito, Adolphus. Some of them even held the thrones perpetually. King Mo’s rival did not achieve that, however, and now perpetuity obsesses him. It wakes him up at night. It chases him through the towns. It corners him, challenges him, humiliates him, makes him desperate. “Desperation is a danger”, thinks King Mo, and again trembles.
