The Roman marksman who guarded the portal leading to his insensate love stood in silence for 2000 years. He guarded her well until the day a bulldog stepped out of the shadows, two well chewed slippers in his mouth, covered in drool. Who sent the dog?

A story in 46 words including portal, drool, marksman, slipper.

I think I need you to teach me English, Elke. Such a well written tale. Enjoyed it immensely.

Dr Who (Rory watched over Amy Pond {closed up in the pandorica, a prison box containing the most dangerous being of the universe} for 2000 years so that no harm would come to her. The episode comes from the eleventh doctor aera. Rory appears as Roman centurion – you know, Dr Who, timey-wimey stuff.

I watched from the 9th doctor (the relaunch) until Disney started to get involved. Disney has been highly criticised for destroying the franchise but my primary reason was that it became expensive to watch in Germany. Disney has just announced withdrawing and BBC is again fully in command. Fans are rejoicing and it was probably the reason why Dr Who was on my mind when I wrote that little … something.
