@antifaBubba One day the tax man appeared at the town, and took almost everything he had for the king. It was enough. He slashed his way through the caravan, emptying the money onto the road. But it was not enough, so he donned the robes of the tax man and headed to the king...

@antifaBubba Years passed, he infiltrated the court as a jester, quietly working in the background making friends in the dark alleys of the king's home. So many were unhappy. He would not have to wait long. He sowed dissent where it wasn't, and fostered the anger of those like him...

@antifaBubba One boy came forth, with a branch. He was quickly downed by the guards. Another threw something. The poor and hungry fought tooth and nail to get to the king as the dwarf unsheathed his revenge. Chaos ensued, yet none of the wealthy who had said they would help did...
@antifaBubba The dwarf, quickly grabbed by the guards after being pummeled with arrows, threw his last dagger, his wife's dagger hidden in his boot, and wounded the King. Gasps were heard. The king went down in a fluff of gold and fur...
@antifaBubba But there was a team of amazing healers available to the king, and while he may have suffered, they were able to heal him in record time of something his subjects could never recover from. The dwarf was horrified. All that work for nothing. He paced in his cell...
@antifaBubba But while in jail he met others like him, even dwarves. They all wanted revenge, and a way out. One dug a hole out while the others covered for them or stole things from the gathering places they were allowed in. Soon they had their escape so they headed down dark hallways...
@antifaBubba Finding the king's quarters, they smothered him and swore never to speak of it again. So they vanished into the woods and mined and had a quiet life, until Snow White.

The End.
