Submitted to Contest #128

In all his fifteen years as Lady Dunston’s personal servant something seemed amiss. He set the biscuits out on the tray and put the Heavenly Gyokuro leaves in the strainer over the pot. He recalled how Lady Dunston had gushed over the purchase of the tea that morning. Everything had seemed the same mundane routine when they made their weekly trip to Ryan’...
