Prompt –
Finish the story begins with: “A body suddenly crashed through a plate glass window at the Brigadier’s house.”
A body suddenly crashed through a plate glass window at the Brigadier’s house.
Baron smiled and said “I told you General”.
“It is just Brigadier, friend”, the man reminded him.
On his way to the Brigadier’s house the Baron had come across a circus that was being set up adjacent to his destination and got an idea to play a prank on his friend. He fiddled with the human canon on the sly. At the house he had kept a watch on the circus through a telescope and warned his friend at the right moment.
The human-canonball soon got up and the Brigadier visibly relaxed.
“You are still a school-boy at heart, Baron” the Brigadier said.
