Description
Art by Duy Truong...................The rebel Barons met at Bury St. Edmunds Church where they began a list of demands upon King John. Tammy needed to be sure they wrote it down that fateful day. Otherwise the Magna Carta would never exist and the concept of freedom would disappear forever....
I said, "Good Barons of England, as you discuss your concerns, I will scribe for you."
Robin said, "We need a King with a set of rules. Let's begin with these banishment proclamations that he doth hold so dear."
"Hear, hear!" everyone agreed. "Let's begin with that."
While I wrote, Alfred pulled me aside. "Tammy, isn't all that writing giving you a cramp?"
I did not understand. "I could write all night long, Alfred."
He examined my hand, "My, my, Tammy your hand is tiring so quickly. Maybe someone else should help you." He winked at me and I understood.
I pushed the inkwell and paper to Robin. I said, "It is best that you do this, Robin. It is possible that the King will see this and it will mean much more in your script than that of a little girl."
"Of course," he said. He wrote at a furious pace with the most glorious script one could imagine.
Several hours later we had a long list.

Reynold, this is a really interesting and unusual vision of a very important moment in history. As always, you have managed to combine a serious message with the magical touch of a story teller. I think the "sepia" look adds extra interest. Voted/Fav'.
