The Myth of Missed Mansion

The writer, housebreaker by profession, intrudes brazenly upon Missed Mansion at the risk of getting lost and never coming out again. The writer's always wary, though, for tale is a tricky bastard without scruples who can catch you from behind and steal your wit without your even knowing it. While Tale has the writer pinned, in response to the writer's disheartened mean, tells stories of heroes who, against insuperable odds, defeated giants,. beheaded dragons, won princesses, and kingdoms. In each of these stories, the writer knows the hero was defeated, but the story doesn't say so, the moral being, you are a clown.
