Converted: A funny short story: The Meantime Stories, #2

By Svingen and Pedersen

"I realized I had never read anything quite like Converted before. Talk about unique!" -Readers' Favorite (5/5 STAR REVIEW)

In this brutally humorous medieval tale, Draghan – a feared field general - is having an existential crisis before the upcoming battle. His unblemished record of staunch, senseless violence is threatened by a fear of blood, gods, and some sweets.

THE MEANTIME STORIES is a funny short read series that draws inspiration from Terry Pratchett, Monty Python, and Douglas Adams, drenched in Nordic Noir (human folly, plentiful abrupt deaths, snappy dialogue, quirky deep thoughts, and absurd outcomes). It's glittering darkness, and clouded light.

Each story is a stand-alone, ready to be enjoyed when you yearn for 30 minutes of wacky, brainy, and laugh-out-loud entertainment. Longing for surprises, unexpected twists, and silliness with an edge? Look no further, because in the Meantime, anything can happen!

In the Meantime ...

Draghan, the esteemed warlord and feared field-general, fakes an orgasm.

During intercourse, as with any other activity of late, he’s been feeling heavy, dark, and exhausted, and taken no interest whatsoever in his fifteenth wife’s energetic performance of lust and pleasure. She lies shamefaced under him, knowing all too well her co-wives have witnessed the whole thing. And how they rejoice: There's nothing like a degraded and humiliated competitor. (She will later today slit her throat as punishment for sexual inadequacy, helped by considerable pressure from the other wives, who find her too buxom and attractive to get
